Suggest Treatment For Sores On Back Of Calf And Thighs

My boy friend has sores poping up on the back of his calf and thigh, back side of forearms. They are red, warm to the touch and the size of a half dollar, then a head forms puss comes out then a core then more puss then it s empty and leaves a concaved area the size of eraser on a pencil. What can this be? He says they are painful and hurt if I barely touch it.
