Your son likely has a fungal or sweat-related skin allergy, which worsens with heat, humidity, or friction from shoes/slippers. Keep his skin dry, use breathable cotton socks, and apply an antifungal powder or cream as advised by a dermatologist. Avoid tight or non-breathable footwear, and get a proper skin evaluation to prevent infection or recurring boils.

Your son’s condition sounds like it might be related to a type of contact dermatitis or possibly a form of hyperhidrosis, especially given that the symptoms worsen with heat and specific materials. Itchiness during the warmer seasons can be common if he is reactive to sweat or if he is prone to allergic skin reactions. For the areas affected by wearing hard objects like shoes or slippers, it sounds like he might be developing blisters or some form of skin breakdown, which if not cared for, can become infected and give off an odor. First, try to identify and avoid known triggers - see if certain materials (like rubber or synthetic fabrics) make it worse. Opt for breathable, cotton clothing and shoes with good ventilation where possible. Moisture-wicking socks might be helpful too. For itching, keep his skin hydrated with a fragrance-free or hypoallergenic moisturizer or possibly an anti-itch cream approved for children. When these skin issues appear, keeping the area clean and dry is essential. Encourage him to wash his feet and hands with mild soap and water, dry them thoroughly before putting on shoes or gloves. If the skin is blistering or weeping, consider using an over-the-counter topical antiseptic or see whether bandages help in protecting his skin. Simultaneously, if any lesions become particularly painful, or show signs of infection (such as increased redness, warmth, pus), or if you notice fever, he should be evaluated by a healthcare professional promptly. For long-term management, consulting a dermatologist might provide a tailored treatment plan, potentially involving allergy testing or specific treatments to better control the symptoms, especially during specific seasons.
