I am down with painful boils on the tummy, neglected for ten days.

Son looked at them and pronounced that they are no ordinary boils but carbuncles, and took me to the skin man who pronounced them to be not carbuncles but furuncles.

Came back and checked for furuncles online and found:

furuncle

ˈfjʊərʌŋk(ə)l/

noun

plural noun: furuncles

1. technical term for boil²
