Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Carbuncle is a lesion that invariably occurs on the back. It has multiple opening from where pus may ooze out. On the finger tip or around the nail there can be an abscess like lesion, called as paronychia. It has to be drained and cleaned, plus proper antibiotics will have to be taken for about 6 to 7 days, Thanks.
