Carbuncle: It could be a staph infection, insect bite, boil, or sebaceous cyst due to a blocked sweat gland. I would have it evaluated by your primary care physician.

Boils or lymph nodes: Most commonly these are either small boils or lymph nodes and usually self limiting but if worse seek medical evaluation.
