Hi & Welcome. I can understand your concern. Yes, it is normal to have the chickenpox rash inside the mouth. There is nothing to worry, it will subside after 1-2 weeks following eruption. The rasChatDoctormonly appears in clusters and the common sites are on the face, behind the ears, over the scalp, on the chest & abdomen & on the arms and legs. However, the rash can be anywhere on the body, even inside the mouth & ears, on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet and inside the nappy area. Hope this answers your query.
