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 是兩個或多個癤子的簇。這是一種毛囊感染,會擴散到附近的皮膚和更深層。它們通常看起來像紅色、柔軟的腫塊,表面有幾個充滿膿液的斑點。您可能還會出現發燒等一般症狀,附近的淋巴結可能會腫脹。 Carbuncles 可以出現在任何有頭髮的地方,但它們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。如果不治療,它們會發展成癤子,當多個癤子連在一起時,就稱為癰。它們可以是一大塊,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,觸痛、發熱、疼痛。當癤子準備排出或排出膿液時,可以在腫塊中心看到黃色或白色的點。嚴重感染時,患者可能會出現發燒、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、胃部、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、鼻孔周圍或鼻孔內或耳朵內)的癤腫,可能建議使用抗生素治療。
