Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Most probably he is suffering from Staph. infection
Ampiclox is the drug of choice given 3 times daily.
Cleaning with antiseptic locally will reduce spreading.
Usually takes about a week to clear completely.
If not, consult dermatologist.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
