Hand Foot and Mouth Disease

Hi, I have a 1 yr old little boy that was just diagnosed with HFMD. It is a common childhood illness. They start with a fever then a rash develops in the mouth then becomes blisters.

He only has a few, so they aren't what I would consider a "rash," but they have all appeared in the last couple days. They almost look...
