What cream for hand, foot, and mouth disease?

For hand, foot, and mouth disease, you can try using Aveeno cream, which is oat-based and effective for itching. Another option is calamine lotion for the affected area, which can be soothing when refrigerated. Remember to avoid calamine lotion containing antihistamines. After bathing, gently pat the skin dry and apply Aveeno cream within 5 minutes to keep the skin hydrated and relieve itching. Stick to warm water for baths as hot or cold water can dry out the skin and worsen discomfort. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.
