What Are The Tiny Bumps Inside The Cheeks?

I have a few pin point tiny bumps here and there inside my cheeks. Don't seem like blisters, no pain. Running my tongue around cheeks it feels like fine grit sandpaper almost. After a few days the bits of skin slough off. What tha what is going on! I have 2 young grandsons in preschool. They Both have had strep twice and "hand-foot-and mouth in the past 5 weeks. (I visit them alot). Could I have it? (I have no tonsils.
