Pus Filled Sores On Arm, Legs And Fingers. What Could Be Causing This?

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic,
As per your discription, your son and two of his friends have similar clinical symptoms of having pus filled sores on arms, legs and fingers.
This condition may be due to the following problems:
1.Pustular skin like pyoderma or impetigo which will spread from one to another by
contact
2. Hand-Foot-Mouth disease, which is caused by a virus and the virus will spread
from one to one in close associates.
3.Scabies, which will associated with burrows and fluid filled vesicles and spread
from one to the another in hostels,crowded places.
The drink they had in the travelling may not be related to the development of this
pus filled sores in this three persons.
But there are chances of one person getting the sores from one another because of spreading of skin infection from one to another with contact among the friends.
Ask your son to consult the doctor for the accurate diagnosis and its management including the preventive advise.
