Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph.
Is this lesion on the face fluid filled or solid?
Is he having fever, sore throat or any other associated complaints?
If possible upload some more pictures of the affected areas especially a close up view.

Hi, Please find attached pics. Also, he has it on his face but more on his back.
Brief Answer:
Seems to be acne, doesn't look like chicken pox
Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it looks like acne.
It is not looking like chicken pox.
I would recommend him to apply benzoyl peroxide 10 percent gel on the affected areas twice daily and take tablet azithromycin 250 mg once daily for 3 consecutive days in a week for 3 weeks.
These are prescription drugs and should be used under the supervision of the doctor.
