Boils, furuncles, carbuncles, abscesses - they happen! Some resolve on their own, but many require medical attention... and for those boils, we are here! Boils are bacterial infections. Medical treatments typically involves numbing the area, opening the abscess, draining the pus, and disinfecting the wound. We are REALLY good at this process and aim to make it pain free. We can also assess the need for a round of antibiotics and ensure you are comfortable through the healing process. Don't suffe

A carbuncle is a cluster of several skin boils (furuncles). The infected mass is filled with fluid, pus, and dead tissue. Fluid may drain out of the carbuncle, but sometimes the mass is so deep that it cannot drain on its own.Carbuncles can develop anywhere. But they are most common on the back and the nape of the neck. People with diabetes, dermatitis, and a weakened immune system are more likely to develop staph infections that can cause carbuncles. . . . . . . . #diabetes #diabeticcarbuncle #
