Fire boils are generally referred to as boils. Boils and carbuncles are not the same thing. A boil is generally an infection of the hair follicle, and the tissue surrounding it deep inside the follicle, by Staphylococcus aureus, resulting in an acute purulent inflammation, also known as folliculitis. A boil is usually one or more red, hemispherical, painful nodules that become more painful as they get larger, and when the boil ruptures and the pus drains out, the pain and redness gradually disappear. Usually, no special treatment is needed, but when the symptoms seriously affect the patient’s life, they can be treated with medication or surgery. Canker sores are acute suppurative infections of multiple adjacent hair follicles and the tissues surrounding these follicles caused by infection with Staphylococcus aureus. Patients will have pain due to the increase of hard lumps, and when the condition is serious, there will be multiple pus heads locally, accompanied by pus and blood secretions and tissue waiver, etc. At the same time, the patients will have symptoms such as elevated body temperature and fear of cold. Generally, it is necessary to use antibiotics and surgical incision to drain the pus under the guidance of doctors. As you can see, boils and carbuncles are somewhat different, and it is recommended that the patient should consult a doctor in a timely manner to clarify the cause of the disease and then carry out the appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
