Carbuncle
Is a red, swollen, and painful cluster of boils that are connected to each other under the skin. A boil (or furuncle) is an infection of a hair follicle that has a small collection of pus (called an abscess) under the skin.
Symptoms:
- A painful, red bump that starts out about the size of a pea
- Red, swollen skin around the bump
- An increase in the size of the bump over a few days as it fills with pus (can sometimes reach the size of a baseball)
- Development of a yellow-white tip that eventually ruptures and allows the pus to drain out
Preliminary plan:
- Surgeon appointment
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Urinalysis
- Stool analysis - Protozoans and Helminths (microscopy)
- Blood test:
- Total protein
- Albumen
- Glucose
- Coagulogram
- Urea (BUN)
- Creatinine
- Blood group + RhD
- Ultrasound of purulent inflammation soft tissue
- Puncture of carbuncle
- Purulence culture, sensitivity test
