Did you find any painful, pus filled lumps on your skin? These painful lumps are usually referred as carbuncles, which are mainly caused when a group of hair follicles become infected.
Carbuncles can develop at any hairy area of your skin, particularly in sweaty areas such as face, neck, buttocks and area around anus.
Carbuncles can affect anyone at any age, but more often teenagers and young adults are at high risk of developing these pus-filled, painful bumps on skin.
Even if you have any other skin conditions that cause scratches or damage to your skin such as eczema or scabies, you are at high risk of developing carbuncles.
Poor immune system, obesity or any other bacterial infection can certainly make you to develop pus-filled carbuncles on your skin.
If left untreated, carbuncles may get larger, tense and also painful as more pus will be accumulated in the lump. Eventually, after few days, the lump tends to burst and the infectious pus will spread to surrounding areas of your skin and accordingly the infection spreads to other areas on your skin.
So, to avoid such undesirable condition, it is very essential for you to take proper treatment for carbuncles.
