My bf wears mid-calf steel-toed boots for protection/support. lately he's been getting itchy, sometimes painful, pus-filled bumps. what r they?

Sounds like: Fungus infection. He should try anti-fungal cream, wear absorbant socks, let feet air out when ever possible. If still a problem, see podiatrist.
