Boils And Carbuncles Health Center

Boils and carbuncles are painful, pus-filled bumps which form under the skin when bacteria infect and inflame one or more of the hair follicles. Boils (Furuncles) usually start as red tender lumps, which quickly fill with pus, growing larger and more painful until they rupture and rain. A carbuncle is a cluster of boils which form a connected area of infection underneath the skin.
