Could I have had Hoof hand and mouth disease?

Question

I had a few watery blisters (very small) on the side of my penis. They only lasted a couple of days. My son and daughter have it on their hands.

Answer 1

I have never heard of this, but you should get it checked out, especially for your kids.

Answer 2

It may be possible.........But I thought it only affected the hands feet and throat. My daughter had that when she was a baby, I didn't catch it from her, ask your doctor or pharmacist if it's possible.

Found this on the web to clear up some confusion for some people:

Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common viral infection that causes painful sores in the mouth and a rash with small blisters on the hands and feet. A vast majority of the time the disease affects children, though adults may become infected as well.

HFMD is often confused with foot-and-mouth disease, which is a highly infectious viral disease found in farm animals. However, these diseases are not related and are caused by different viruses. In addition, HFMD is not transmitted by animals to humans or vice versa.

Answer 3

Do you mean "Hand, foot and mouth disease"?
There is no specific treatment for Hand, foot, mouth disease (HFMD). Individual symptoms, such as fever and pain from the sores, may be eased with the use of medication. HFMD is a viral disease that has to run its course; many doctors do not issue medicine for this illness, unless the infection is severe. It is usually in the affected child's best interest to be kept home until the infection clears. Fever reducers will help to control high temperatures. Cool baths will also help bring temperature down.
Only a very small minority require hospital admission, mainly as a result of neurological complications (encephalitis, meningitis or acute flaccid paralysis) or pulmonary edema/pulmonary hemorrhage.

Answer 4

I dont think you have foot and mouth or hoof and mouth disease - it is VERY Rare in humans. Many diseases may have blisters as a symptom. Some common examples include:

Infections
Chicken pox
Herpes simplex (cold sores, genital herpes)
Herpes zoster (shingles)
Impetigo
Contact dermatitis
Poison ivy
Inflammatory skin diseases
Atopic dermatitis (eczema)
Drug reactions
Blistering skin diseases
Porphyria cutanea tarda
Dermatitis herpetiformis

You need to see a doctor, Please at least take the kids.

Answer 5

Are you referring to hand-foot-mouth disease or foot and mouth disease? The two are different.

Foot and mouth disease is a viral infection that can affect cloven-hoofed animals such as pigs, cattle, sheep, and goats. It is rare for humans to be infected.

You might have another form of viral infection, since other members of your family also have them. Could be viral stomatitis of some form, or canker sores, or yes, hand-foot-mouth disease.

Answer 6

The only disease that I can think of that shows up on your genitals and then on your hands is Syphillis. I doubt you have that. That is the worst. Go to a dr., and bring your kids with you.

Answer 7

Are you sure your kids have it? It's extremely rare for humans to get it.

If you have not been to the doctor....you all should be seen right away. Call the office first and tell them your symptoms. It's highly contagious.

Answer 8

No. Get checked for STD's. The kids may have foot and mouth.
