A Carbuncle is defined as a large boil, filled with pus with an opening through which pus and fluids ooze out. It is a bacterial infection mostly caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The infection is contagious and can be spread to other parts of the body. The Carbuncle is filled with fluid, pus and debris of dead tissues and cells. The pus and the fluid drain out by itself. In some cases the Carbuncles are so deep that it cannot drain by itself and has to be incised. The back and the nape of the neck are the most common sites of Carbuncles. Friction from clothing or shaving, generally poor hygiene and weakening of immunity are the common causes of Carbuncles.
