Looks like he has got drug resistant leprosy. He will need to take medicines for a minimum of 2 years so that the recurrence is not there. Is he consistent in taking medicines because it is very important. He cannot miss any doses. He will need a different line of treatment. Please send the pics and I will be able to guide you better
