Have him go to a free clinic or one that works on a sliding scale. We can't diagnosis anyone and this is not related to a STD.

Maybe try posting in the dermatology community, they might be able to give a little more help. But any diagnosis needs to come from a Dr.

Have him follow up with his Dr or see a dermatologist. It has nothing to do with a STD.
