Why does HFM (coxsackie virus) only cause sores on certain parts of the body when other similar diseases (measles, chickenpox, smallpox, etc.) affects all areas of the body?

It doesnt.
All three of my kids had it a few months ago and they all presented so differently.
10 y/o had the usual spots on his hand and feet, maybe one or two around his mouth.
10 month old had it in the groin area only, big blisters it honestly loo
ked like she had a horrendous case of herpes!
3 y/o had it the worst, he had it all over his body and had the sick symptoms to go with it. Poor little bugger, he has also recently had an uncommon complication where his toe and fingernails are falling off.
Apparently sometimes it causes your nails to just stop growing for a while! His hands and feet look so bad right now.
