Carbuncles
Carbuncles treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore
Carbuncles are painful boils, pus-filled bumps that develop under the skin when bacteria infect and inflame the hair follicles. An occurrence of a cluster of boils is referred to as a carbuncle.
Typically, these boils appear as reddish or purplish bumps that are tender to touch. In the course of time, as the bumps fill with pus, they become larger and more painful until they rupture and drain. As a rule, the most common areas that are affected by this condition are the face, the back of the neck, the armpits, the thighs, and the buttocks and thighs.
In most cases, you will be able to treat a boil at home on a single occasion if you act quickly. Please do not attempt to prick or squeeze it in any way, as this could spread the infection further.
The Treatment Plan
You may be able to treat small boils at home by applying warm compresses to relieve pain and promote natural drainage.
