Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears to be the cellulitis, due to the fungal infection , dandruff, with superinfection of bacteria.
He has to take treatment of anti bacterial and antifungal treatments simultaneously.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have culture and sensitivity of the discharge from the eruptions.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms fluconazole, grisofulvin, ofloxacin, ornidazole, and ketokonazole shampoo.
Ask him to take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and protein rich foods to improve the resistance.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
