FURUNCLE, CHIPMUNK - REASONS, TREATMENT

Abstract

The common name of boil among the people is "chipkon". This disease is more common in adults than in women. The incidence of furuncle increases in autumn and spring. Along with osteofolliculitis, hydradenitis, folliculitis, sycosis and streptococcal impetigo, furuncle belongs to the group of dermatological diseases of purulent-inflammatory nature. If osteofolliculitis and folliculitis refer only to the damage of the hair follicle, the furuncle involves the tissues surrounding the follicle in a purulent process and is often a complication of these diseases. In addition, the development of furuncle can be complicated by other staphylo- and streptodermas.
