    Not looking for medical advice just other people's experiences. My little one had Hand Foot and is just over it with the last week (all spots gone) today I noticed two spots/blisters on her arms.

    Have any of ye're little ones got it back again so quick (this is within a week)?! I know they can get it a few times but thought it was only with different strains

    I am not a medic but I think it’s a sign of healing when the blisters appear.

    Just wondering how you got on with this? How long til the blisters stopped?

    My little guy just over this. Took 10 days in total for rash to heal. He wasn't well for about 5 days but ok then just waiting for rash to go. Seems to be everywhere at moment!

    The reason I was asking is that my LO got it Nov 10th and is still getting blisters on her feet and some of her fingernails and toenails are turning black (and will fall off soon, my gp has told me!). That's why I was wondering how long it lasts. I had been told 10-14 days was the average.
