Yes - when my daughter was about a year old she got it at nursery. Pretty sure the doctor just prescribed some cream. It's rarely passed onto adults but I did manage to catch it also :-/ just resulted in blistery feet and fingers for a couple of weeks. There are plenty worse illnesses she could've gotten.

Yes there was an outbreak at my son's daycare. It lasted 8 days and the scars from the blisters took 1 month to completely fade. It's awful, but it has been going around this summer from what my doctor said.

No but it usually clears up by itself in a week to ten days. But I would still take your child to the doctors of you suspect that you child has it.
