Carbuncle clinical manifestations in the short?

Carbuncle manifests as a painful, red, swollen lump on the skin, often with multiple interconnected furuncles (boils) and a central necrotic area. It typically presents with systemic symptoms such as fever and chills, and may produce pus or drainage as it progresses. The affected area can be warm to the touch and may lead to scarring once healed. Prompt medical treatment is often necessary to prevent complications.
