Sometimes skin boils can be caused from exposure to to much sun,other times they just pop up from a possible skin infection, What I can tell you is let it pop on it's own then after ward cleanse, anibiotic,and bandage. If it persists to happen take him to a doctor. I have to tell you also that a boils can happen almost any whereon the body and are not dangerous,just annoying and painful.

Definition:
A pus making skin infection in a gland or hair gland, marked by pain, redness and swelling.
Cause:
When the blood stream is flowing "clean" and doing an efficient job by feeding the system properly and carrying off the wastes, the whole body benefits...When a "good clean blood-purifying program" is being used, we will see that the toxic poisons are being removed and boils, acne and other skin diseases will start clearing up.
Herbal Aids:
1. Boils, Carbuncles, Tumors: Bruise the fresh leaves of plantain and apply to the affected area, cover and keep moist (juice); change poultice before dry.
2. Rashes, Pimples, Boils, Scurvy, Eczema: Use a decoction of equal parts burdock root and yellow dock (Rumex crispus) as a wash, and drink the combination as a tea.
3. See formula for boils poultice using burdock root, sarsaparilla, yellow dock and black alder.
4. Boils, Carbuncles: Make an external application of equal parts of echinacea and ground pine or club moss (Lycopodium clavatum), while taking the echinacea tea or syrup internally; another effective poultice is to use flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum), lobelia (Lobelia inflata), slippery elm powder (Ulmus fulva), and cayenne (Capsicum minimum; C. fastigiatum) with echinacea tea and apply fresh 2 times daily for 4 days.
Testimonials:
1. Boils Under Both Arms: While serving in the army during World War II, we had a soldier come to us with a bad case of boils under both arms. We lanced and treated them as usual, but in a week or so he was back with another crop. When questioned about it, he said that he had been plagued with the problem all his life. I asked him if he wanted to rid his body of the boils, and he said he did. So I gave him a prescription, to the mess sergeant (not to the druggist): no fried foods, no milk, no meat, no potatoes, no soft drinks, but all fresh fruits and vegetables. Needless to say, the boils promptly cleared up and he had no recurrence of them. So these types of diseases must be treated by clearing up the blood stream and keeping it clean if healing is to be realized.
2. Boils Suffered for Nearly a Year: Dr. Shook also related, at length, the story of a young man who was suffering for nearly a year with boils on different parts of his body, two under one arm and one under the other, several scattered about on his wrists, buttocks, and legs, and nine on his neck. It was the worst case of Furunculosis (boils caused by blood impurity) that Dr. Shook had ever seen.
He told the man to gather a large sackful of fresh burdock leaves and to dig up the roots of first-year plants. His wife washed and chopped the leaves and made them into a poultice with Oil of Eucalyptus and applied wherever the boils appeared. The roots were cleaned, chopped, and boiled, four ounces to a quart of water, for twenty minutes. This was strained and reduced to one pint and taken in small doses throughout the day till the pint was gone.
In three weeks, the boils were gone, and in one month the young man was completely well, although he had suffered so much for so long. The boils did not recur.
