To adequately diagnose the condition, photographs are required. Is your son having any fever? Any other body part where he is having these boils? Please either share the photographs online or visit the nearest dermatologist. Do not delay the treatment, since if it is a bacterial infection, it can cause severe complications which can even be life-threatening.
Next Steps
Consult a certified dermatologist.
