Hello
Thanks for the query.
Carbuncle is a bacterial infection and needs treatment with antibiotics.
I treat such cases with a combination of oral antibiotic like cefixime and topical mupirocine cream.
It is safe and effective however there are chances that drainage of pus might be required.
I advise you to meet a surgeon and discuss.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
