What is creeping corruption?

My son was in our yard trying to build a little clubhouse in some bushes, when he finished that night he noticed he had 4 small pimple looking bumps on his butt cheek. My wife thought it was just a rash and would go away. The next day they had gotten larger and started to ooze pus a little. She put some boil eaze on them and they have almost gotten to where they are one big sore. he says they don't itch, but they hurt when he sits down (I guess they would since it's on his butt) We thought it might be a parasite that we call creeping corruption, or creeping crud. Does anyone have any idea what this could possibly be? And if they perhaps know the technical term for this parasite. We plan on taking him to the doctor in the morning and have it checked. Am I on the right path?

What is creeping corruption?
does sound like a boil .
Reply:Is he having any other symptoms that are flu-like, a fever, or stiff neck? If so, you need to seek medical attention IMMEDIATELY! I am not familiar with that type of parasite, but the bite could be from a spider or other insect with a lethal venom, and delaying medical treatment could be deadly.
