I'm going to say #2 Herpes Simplex.
Doesn't look like scalded skin...
Simplex seems more vesicular...
HFM is IN the mouth, right?
Could be Zoster, but given that it seems to be IN the nose hair and the goatee hair, I'm going with folliculitis.
So #4

Hand, foot and mouth Iv only heard about in young children. I think folliculitis is more spotty around follicles so I say this is eczema herpeticum due to herpes simplex.
Eczema herpeticum due to herpes simplex???
Eczema herpeticum due to herpes simplex????
Iv only ever heard of hand foot and mouth in young children and folliculitis as a spotty rash with pustules.
Eczema herpeticum caused by herpes simple.
Hand foot and mouth Iv only ever heard of in small children. Folliculitis I think is spotty with pustules.
