Boils and carbuncles are caused by bacterial infections under the skin. A boil is a painful, pus-filled bump caused by an infected hair follicle, while a carbuncle is a cluster of connected boils. Symptoms include red, swollen bumps that enlarge over days filling with pus. Risk factors include skin conditions, diabetes, or weakened immunity.
