Hi,
Thank you for your query.
I would have loved to help you out but without having a look at the lesions it is very difficult for me to guide. I suggest that you show your son to a doctor/skin specialist and follow the advice.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your son an early recovery.
Regards,
RKK
