What is another name for boils?

Furuncle
Papule
Nodule
Cyst

The correct answer is: Furuncle

Furuncles, which are also known as boils, are small skin infections that cause a painful, red bump filled with pus. A papule is a raised, red bump on the skin that does not contain pus. A nodule is a solid, raised lesion on the skin that can be caused by various conditions. A cyst is a closed sac or capsule containing fluid, air, or other material. While all of these conditions may appear similar to boils, the term "furuncle" specifically refers to a type of infection caused by bacteria entering a hair follicle. Therefore, furuncle is the most accurate synonym for boils. The other terms may describe similar skin issues but are not interchangeable with the term "boils."
