Is this chicken pox?

Ds (7months) has woken up this morning with three spots on his leg.

Initially I thought they were bites, but now wondering if chicken pox. Google just shows me giant rashes so I can't figure out if this is the beginning of it, or whether they are just bites.

He has been a little grouchy the last couple of days, which I just thought was teething.

Thoughts?

I think that does look like CP. It's rife at the minute. Hope he's not too poorly with it.

Hard to tell. How the spots behave will reveal if it's pox. They'll blister and then more spots will appear in stages. They'll be very itchy.

My son was incredibly grouchy before spots appeared

Thanks. I think it probably is. Time will tell I suppose. He's sleepier than normal but no temp.
