A furuncle can appear on any part of the human body where there are hair follicles present. The most common areas of the body where furuncles can appear are on the armpits, buttocks, face, neck and thighs.
The symptoms of a furuncle are the appearance of a small reddish tender boil like growth that may have a yellow or white center known as a pustule. A furuncle has the ability for rapid growth and may weep liquid and/or puss. An individual who has a furuncle may experience inflammation, itchiness, tiredness, temperatures or fever and over-all unwellness
A furuncle will usually heal within a couple of weeks from when it originally began to form, after it empties itself of all the inner puss build up. If the furuncle or furuncles do not disappear within a couple of weeks it is advisable to visit your doctor for advise as there may be a possibility that a doctor may need to drain the furuncle for it to properly heal but this is a painless procedure.

The size of a furuncle is usually that of a pea but can be much larger, approaching the size of a golf ball. It's red and swollen, sometimes with a white or yellowish center. A furuncle can increase in size quickly and may ooze, crust over and spread to other areas of the skin. You may also experience fatigue, fever, itching and overall sick feeling.
Usually a furuncle will heal on its on within a period of two weeks. It will burst and drain and then heal over. If it does not after a two week period then a doctor might have to drain the lesion. You can apply warm compresses over the area to speed the healing process.
Some possible complications include:
Abscess of the skin, spinal cord, brain, kidneys, or other organ
Brain infection
Endocarditis
Osteomyelitis
Permanent scar
Sepsis
Spinal cord infection
Spread of infection to other parts of the body or skin
