Answers:
The bumps sound like they are boils and when they spread they are called carbuncles. It's caused by a staph infection. It happens when the immune system is suppressed. I don't know what medication he is on for arthritis, but some arthritis medications suppress the immune system and can make a person more prone to infections. I think a doctor may treat the boils with an antibiotic cream and possibly something else, I don't know for certain. You may want to take him to a clinic that is open today so he can be treated. You can also look up boils and carbuncles on the internet to see what you can find that may help.
