Maybe.

Look pretty ominous. When my two got it it started off with two spots. Has he had any other symptoms? Normally there's a high temp. You'll soon know because by the morning he'll be covered. Let us know the outcome.

I thought viral illnesses like chicken pox started on the torso .

They do look a bit suspicious though. How old is your son ? Could they be teenage spots ?

It looks a bit blistery. If more appear, I'd suspect chicken pox.

Both my boys had a spot on thier face and a spot under thier arm. Chickenpox CAN start with one pox on the face.
