Any dentists or medics on?

DS has chickenpox some of which have become infected, he’s started on an antibiotic and cream for these this evening. When going to bed he’s noticed a weird mark in his mouth. It’s sort of like lose skin but is grey in colour. Anyone know what these is? Is it linked to chickenpox?
Do I need to be concerned? I’ve added a photo

Not medical, but I expect it's linked to the chicken pox. I'd wait until they go (hopefully soon!) and then reassess if it's still there once they've cleared.

@TokyoSushi thats what I’m hoping! Just doesn’t look anything like a chicken pock and the colour is odd

No, they don't look like chicken pox in the mouth, they are grey coloured so that's probably what it is

ah okay thanks @Tilllly I tried to Google but couldn’t find anything on that. Have you experienced it - does it look like DS’?

Looks like an ulcer, will probably break down over next day or 2 to look more "ulcer like".

There's a bit on it here if that helps

My DS had a couple but they didn't last nearly as long as the ones on his body
