For his dandruff you can try shampoos containing ketoconazole like scalpe lotion twice in a week.The lesions on the face could either be boils as you suggested or could be acne. For either of them topical antibacterial creams containing Nadifloxacin will help.But my recommendation is that you must consult a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis before starting any treatment.
