Abstract
Infection of hair follicle is commonly called 'boil' or furunculosis. This can result in abscess formation leading to accumulation of pus and necrotic tissue. This can be more common in immunocompromised patients such as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Commonest organism to cause furunculosis is believed to be Staphylococcus aureus. We present an elderly patient where multiple nasal vestibular furunculosis suppurated resulting in extensive tissue damage and nasolabial fistula. Reconstruction was delayed to accommodate tissue healing from hyperglycemic insult and necrosis. Alar advancement flap was employed to give a suitable 3 layer closure to the fistula.
