What is furunculos?

Answer 1

A furuncle, also commonly called a boil, is a painful infection of the hair follicle and the surrounding skin tissue.

It's caused by bacteria, most commonly Staphylococcus aureus, which infects the hair follicle and sebaceous gland (oil gland) located at the base of the hair.

Answer 2

A furuncle, commonly known as a boil, is a painful pus-filled bump caused by a bacterial infection in a hair follicle or oil gland. It typically appears as a red, swollen area on the skin and can be treated with warm compresses or, in some cases, antibiotics.

Answer 3

Furúnculos are boils. It's a skin abscess = furuncle, normally caused by staphylococcal, but could be also an inflammation of hair follicles or a sebaceous gland.
