Localized abscesses caused by Staphylococci include furuncles (boils), which are painful and occur in hair follicles, and carbuncles, which are larger, interconnected collections of furuncles that affect deeper skin layers. Additionally, Staphylococci can lead to skin abscesses, which are localized pockets of pus that can develop anywhere on the body, often as a result of skin trauma or infection. These abscesses typically require drainage and may be treated with antibiotics.
