7. Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease

Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is a viral infection and one of the most common skin rashes in children. Early symptoms include sore throat, fever, and generally feeling unwell. A day or two after these symptoms begin, a rash of blister-like sores develops on the palms and soles and in the mouth and throat. These bumps are not itchy, but they are very painful and cause children a lot of distress.
