How Can Boil Like Sores On The Shin And Foot Be Cured?

I was in the hospital for 7 days last week being treated for COPD and a- fib, being released on Friday. On Monday I noticed a few small boil like soars on my shin and one on my foot. They appear to be pus- filled. I worry it could be MRSA. Can my doctor treat this in his office today?
