He should not pick at the lesions under any circumstances - this could lead to secondary infection.
Well, due to the limitations of this mode of medical help or advise i would have to ask you to convince him to consult a surgeon or skin specialist for a clinical examination.
Nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions.
He should stop using deodorants till then and not shave the regions. He needs to maintain good personal hygiene too.
The discharge would probably be sent for a lab analysis and he would also need a course of antibiotics.
Let us know about what the doctors tell you and post us if you need any further information.
Regards.
