Child With Pus Filled Bumps On The Chest. Medication?

My son is 2 1/2 weights about 35 lbs and he has white pus like bumps on his arms and some on his chest . He has had them for a couple of months. They dont seem to bother him at all but sometimes they feel really dry when I rub my finger near them. I as wondering what this is and if there is anything I can do to clear theses bumps up.
