Suggest Remedies For Multiple Open Sores On Hands, Arms And Upper Lip

my friend has multiple open sores on his hands arms and one on the outside of his upper lip. They are about the size of a normal medium blister. the sores are surrounded by redness more like a rash than redness around open wounds. He is diabetic, als, high blood pressure and a few other dilemma including the one that weakens your bones. Any ideas what it could possibly be (mesa maybe) and what can be done other than seeing a physician as he is homeless and could not afford it if it was life threatening.
