Yes.: From your description, there are a few possible causes, including skin cysts, molluscum contagiosum, and folliculitis. Some causes require treatment and some don't;your son's doctor can tell you the diagnosis and what treatment is needed, if any.

Rash: All rashes are best assessed in person with your doctor. Rashes are usually a visual diagnosis. Your child's rash could be anything from a viral wart called molluscum contagiosum to scarlett fever to a viral rash. Thus is why you need to see your doctor.
