What are the different types of boiles you can get on your skin?

Boils, also known as furuncles, are painful, pus-filled lumps that can form on the skin due to bacterial infections, often involving hair follicles. Common types include simple boils, which are isolated and can appear anywhere on the body, and carbuncles, which are clusters of boils that develop under the skin. Other types can include cystic boils, which are deeper and may be associated with more chronic conditions. Treatment typically involves drainage and antibiotics if an infection is present.
