A carbuncle is a group of boils on the skin. A carbuncle forms when a number of boils group together to form one lump, or when multiple hair follicles become infected at once. When multiple carbuncles form, the condition is known as carbunculosis. Carbuncles are typically triggered by bacterial infection of the hair follicles, usually by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, but other bacteria and fungi present on the skin surface may also cause the infection. If the infection is not resolved quickly, pockets of bacteria, cells, dead tissue, fluid, and pus form. The infections that trigger carbuncles are contagious and may spread. Carbuncles is associated with edema.
