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?

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