Cellulitis: The skin area appears infected from your description and warm soaks until no longer see pus is recommended. You can apply OTC neosporin to the local area, but if fever and more pus develop and redness surrounding and spreading, He should get checked in urgent care clinic for incision and drainage and antibiotics with MD.
