Thanks for the query. Based on your description it looks like a superficial bacterial infection usually caused by staphylococcus aureus. Kindly consult a dermatologist for exact diagnosis and a precise treatment plan. Its also important to prevent their relapse once you have got it cured. A decolonization regimen suggested by your doctor will help
Next Steps
Meet a Dermatologist. If needed get a pus culture sensitivity done.
