Mix it at about 1/2 teaspoon to 1/4 cup water, and using a cotton ball or small piece of absorbent cloth, saturate the sores and the area around them with the solution you made. It will dye him a little bit orange! It doesn't sting or burn at all, and if you warm it up to the same temp as his body he will hardly notice it. It kills bacteria, fungus and viruses so regardless of what this is, it will likely take care of it. I always think staph when I see these little sores on them and it is extremely good for that. Do it once or twice a day. Don't put anything else on the sores - just let them air dry with the solution on them.
