I'm am hesitant to even make an attempt to say what the boils on your husbands face are; for most likely I would be wrong. For that matter we on this site are not allowed to make diagnoses or offer medical advice.
As to what Doctors to see or what approach to take to see what these boils are; there are two approaches you can take. Depending on your medical insurance coverage you may have to start by seeing your family doctor and being referred to a specialist. If you have a PPO plan of insurance you can take the second route and go straight to the specialist.
From what I am reading here I would say the first specialist to seek help from would be a Dermatologist as they deal with disorders of the skin. What ever blood work or tests that need to be run can and will be ordered by the Dermatologist. Once the results are in either the Dermatologist will treat your Husband or refer you to the proper specialist based on the test results.
