My boyfriend has crohn's disease and he has these lumps on his back. what are they? circular and they itch. they are about the size of a plum.

Ringworm: It could be fungal. The best way to tell is a skin biopsy if he goes to see a dermatologist. If he's had this a long time it may not respond well to topicals. Oral treatment requires a prescription.
