carbuncular
Carbuncular is an adjective that refers to anything resembling, related to, or characteristic of a carbuncle. A carbuncle is a severe skin infection that often involves a group of hair follicles. The infected material forms a lump, which occurs deep in the skin and may contain pus. Therefore, when something is described as carbuncular, it suggests a serious, painful, and often red, swollen condition. Sometimes the term can be used metaphorically to describe something offensive or reprehensible.
