A boil, also called a furuncle, is a deep folliculitis, infection of the hair follicle. It is most commonly caused by infection by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, resulting in a painful swollen area on the skin caused by an accumulation of pus and dead tissue.
Carbuncle 是由兩個或多個癤子組成的簇,屬於毛囊感染,會擴散至鄰近皮膚及更深層組織。它們通常呈紅色、柔軟的腫塊,表面有數個充滿膿液的斑點。患者可能會出現發燒等全身症狀,且附近的淋巴結可能腫脹。Carbuncles 可出現在任何有毛髮的部位,但最常見於皮膚較厚的區域,如頸後、背部和大腿。它們通常始於稱為毛囊炎的小毛囊感染。若未及時治療,會發展成癤子;當多個癤子連在一起時,即稱為癰。病灶可以是一大塊,也可以是幾個小塊。 A carbuncle is a contiguous collection of two or more furuncles. A carbuncle is an infection of the hair follicle(s) that extends into the surrounding skin and deep underlying subcutaneous tissue. They typically present as an erythematous, tender, inflamed, fluctuant nodule with multiple draining sinus tracts or pustules on the surface. Systemic symptoms are usually present, and regional lymphadenopathy may occur. They can arise in any hair-bearing location on the body; however, they are most common in areas with thicker skin such as the posterior neck, back, and thighs. A carbuncle can start as a folliculitis, which, if left untreated, can lead to a furuncle, and when multiple furuncles are contiguous, it becomes classified as a carbuncle. Carbuncles can be solitary or multiple.
癤子是毛囊周圍凹凸不平、紅色、充滿膿液的腫塊,伴有觸痛、發熱與疼痛。當癤子即將或已排出膿液時,可在腫塊中心看到黃色或白色的點。嚴重感染時,患者可能出現發燒、淋巴結腫大和疲勞等症狀。
癤子可能出現在臀部或肛門附近、背部、頸部、腹部、胸部、手臂或腿部,甚至耳道內。眼睛周圍也可能出現癤子,稱為麥粒腫。
不應在家中嘗試擠壓或切割,因為這可能會進一步傳播感染。對於大面積或反覆發作的癤子,或發生在敏感區域(例如腹股溝、乳房、腋窩、鼻孔周圍或鼻孔內、耳朵內)的癤腫,可能建議使用抗生素治療。
