Hi. Carbuncle /Boils are bacterial infections of skin. Its common to get boils. Carbuncle is usually seen in those with raised blood sugars. Both can be treated with appropriate antibiotics. If these lesion reoccur after taking full dose of antibiotics, you need to get yourself tested for blood sugars and heamogram. Dermatologist will collect pus for testing antibiotic sensitivity and will prescribe the right drug. At same time its important to keep clean and treat infection if any among family members or friends staying along with you. Use triclosan containing soaps for bathing. Take care.
