  A boil (furuncle) is a pus-filled bump in the skin that is caused by a bacterial infection. […] Boils are caused by bacteria, most commonly by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (a staph infection). […] They are more likely to lead to boils or other skin infections in people who have weakened immune systems. […] For this reason, boils are more common in people with medical conditions such as diabetes, chronic infections or cancer. […] Boils develop when a hair follicle and the surrounding tissue become infected. […] If several boils merge into a larger bump, its called a carbuncle. […] If several boils develop in neighboring hair follicles and merge into a larger connected area of infection under the skin, its called a carbuncle. […] Antibiotics are only needed if complications are likely or have already occurred for instance, if several boils have merged and developed into a carbuncle.

  https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/185421

  Furuncles and carbuncles typically happen as a result of staphylococcal infection. They develop when the infection affects the hair follicle and surrounding tissue. This can cause some swelling and other symptoms. […] Staphylococcal infection usually causes carbuncles. They develop when the infection causes boils to develop in the hair follicles and surrounding tissues. […] Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), also known as staph bacteria, lives on the skin and inside the nose and throat. Usually, the body’s immune system keeps them under control, but sometimes they enter the skin through a hair follicle, or through a cut or graze in the skin. […] When the skin becomes infected, the immune system responds by sending white blood cells to the affected area to destroy the bacteria. Pus is an accumulation of dead bacteria, dead white blood cells, and dead skin. […] This can result in a boil, which can cluster together to form a carbuncle.

• #5 Carbuncle – Symptoms, Causes, Treatments
