Carbuncle caused by MRSA infection. Pre and Post surgery.

A carbuncle is a cluster of boils that form a connected area of infection. Compared with single boils, carbuncles cause a deeper and more severe infection and are more likely to leave a scar. People who have a carbuncle often feel unwell in general and may experience a fever and chills.

If you put your ear close to the wound, you can hear the ocean.

Maybe it’s the coast of Sudan. Or India. And that conch shell you’re blowing into isn't a fucking conch shell…

Risk Factors for Carbuncles
Older age, obesity, poor hygiene, and poor overall health are associated with carbuncles. Other risk factors for carbuncles include:

Chronic skin conditions, which damage the skin's protective barrier
Diabetes
Kidney disease
Liver disease
Any condition or treatment that weakens the immune system
Carbuncles also can occur in otherwise healthy, fit, younger people, especially those who live together in group settings such as college dorms and share items such as bed linens, towels, or clothing. In addition, people of any age can develop carbuncles from irritations or abrasions to the skin surface caused by tight clothing, shaving, or insect bites, especially in body areas with heavy perspiration.
