peroxide isn't recommended to be used on the skin like that. it's non-chlorine bleach and actually can cause more harm than good to the skin :(

definitely he needs to be seen to find out what is causing his symptoms. Just guessing and self treating isn't usually a good   idea.

did you both get full std testing, that included herpes testing, prior to becoming intimate together to know who has what?

your boyfriend really needs to go to a doctor and have the area swabbed.
