Is this chickenpox?

Yesterday my DS(6 years old) came back from half term club itching. He's got a few spots on his chest, under his armpit, 2 on one of his shoulders and a few on his back. They don't look like the chicken pox pictures I see online. Also, I checked on him this morning and it hasnt spread to his face.

Im not sure whether this is CP? Pictures attached. Do you think it's something else?

I inspected his bed, there is a speck of blood on the sheet and I found a squashed bug under the mattress! I'm freaking out!
