Welcome to Health care magic.
1. The painful lump with pus discharge will suggest an bacterial infection.
2.Mostly the hair follicular infection / inflammation ( carbuncle and furuncle ).
3.Advise your son not to interfere the lumps / lesions, no pressing, scratching should be done it will only delay the healing process and complicate.
4.A course of antibiotic will help ti treat the bacterial infection, keep area clean and clean it with antiseptic liquids, Avoid clothing that cause irritation to that location. If any suspicion - that it is from inside the scrotum - an ultrasound scrotum will help.
5.The other symptoms you have mentioned seems like some systemic cause , possibly blood - complete blood picture and culture may help. Good luck.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
