Looks like it could be. It’s an unusual places for them to start. Are they’re anywhere else?

It could be, or it could be something has a taste for him and had a nibble! Just keep an eye on it and see. My daughter's first chicken pox spot was on her neck.

They usually start on the torso. Is it hand foot and mouth?

Mum20185 · 02/03/2023 13:19

I don't think it's hand foot and mouth, as it's on one of the cheeks
