We’ve just gone through 3 weeks of my girl having HFM and it was the most horrible thing ever to see her so uncomfortable and not herself. We saw a Dr who prescribed her Dermol 500 lotion which we used as body wash and it started clearing it up within a couple days. We didn’t use anything else when bathing her. But other than that we just had lots of cuddles. She did also go off food but got her appetite back within a few days. Hope she gets better soon ❤️

Oh gosh 3 weeks your poor little girl! We've been given some cream from the doctors aswell. Going to offer her an oat bath in a minute! My toddler has never had it and I didn't realize how horrible it is!

Yes they said about pay baths. Apparently it’s meant to be really soothing for them too! I’d say too to try and keep clothes as loose as possible as we found that when they rubbed she got more irritated. 🥰 Ive never seen it either - it’s even more heartbreaking when they start to blister 😢

Thank you! That's a good call about clothes! How long did the spots / blisters last?

Spots started to turn to blisters about a week in, the blisters some cleared up in a couple days but some a week then she had sore bits of fresh skin for a couple days where they was in awkward places!

Thank you 👍 she is already starting to feel better this afternoon 💕
