What Causes Pus Filled Blisters On Scalp?

Hi my son has these things that look like blisters and two have popped that looks like a scalp and they have puss around them. My daughter took him to the dr while I was at work. She said it is something that starts with a e and the dr said it was highly contagious and to use dial soa, Neosporin and to put bandaids on them. What could the name be?
