Detailed explanation-1: -Furuncles (boils) are skin abscesses caused by staphylococcal infection, which involve a hair follicle and surrounding tissue. Carbuncles are clusters of furuncles connected subcutaneously, causing deeper suppuration and scarring. They are smaller and more superficial than subcutaneous abscesses.
Detailed explanation-2: -“Furuncle” is another word for a “boil.” Boils are bacterial infections of hair follicles that also involve the surrounding tissue.
Detailed explanation-3: -Warm compresses. Apply a warm washcloth or compress to the affected area several times a day, for about 10 minutes each time. Never squeeze or lance a boil yourself. This can spread the infection. Prevent contamination. Wash your hands thoroughly after treating a boil. 18-Sept-2021
