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聚集而成的病灶。它是一種毛囊感染,會擴散至鄰近皮膚及更深層組織。外觀通常為紅色、柔軟的腫塊,表面有數個充滿膿液的斑點。患者可能伴有發燒等全身症狀,且附近的淋巴結可能腫大。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。它們通常起始於稱為毛囊炎的小毛囊感染。若未及時治療,感染會發展成癤子,當多個癤子連在一起時,即稱為癰。病灶可以呈現為一大塊,也可以分成幾個小塊。 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.
癤子是毛囊周圍呈凹凸不平、紅色且充滿膿液的腫塊,伴有觸痛、發熱與疼痛。當膿液即將或已排出時,腫塊中心常可見黃色或白色點。嚴重感染時,患者可能出現發燒、淋巴結腫大、疲勞等症狀。
癤子可發生於臀部或肛門附近、背部、頸部、腹部、胸部、手臂或腿部,甚至耳道內。眼周的癤子稱為麥粒腫。
不應在家自行擠壓或切割,因為可能加重感染並擴散。對於大面積、反覆發作或位於敏感部位(如腹股溝、乳房、腋窩、鼻孔周圍或內部、耳道內)的疖,醫師可能會建議使用抗生素治療。
