It may be a normal skin infection because human skins are natural host of many bacterial species that colonize the skin as normal flora, but they account for a wide variety of bacterial pyodermas. The reasons of skin infections include minor trauma, pre existing skin disease , poor hygiene and rarely the impaired host immunity. It is better to consult a doctor for understanding further details and take proper treatment. ]
I don't need to look at the picture to tell you that none of us are doctors and we cannot offer you a diagnoses. Even if we were and could you cannot make a diagnoses off a picture. Your brother need to see a doctor.
In most cases a doctor will offer him an antibiotic skin cream and possibly an oral antibiotic as well. The doctor may also want to culture the rash to see just what type of infection he or she is dealing with. It is for this reason why a proper diagnoses cannot be given over the web.
In the interim until you can see a doctor a pharmacist may be able to offer some advice as to something to offer some relief for pain or itching. Though for a cure your brother must see your family doctor or a dermatologist. ]
