The formation or development of carbuncles; the process of carbuncles forming on the skin.
From 'carbuncle' + Latin suffix '-ation' (process or state of), following medical terminology patterns to describe disease processes.
Carbunculation is rarely used today because modern antibiotics stop the infection before multiple pockets form, but older medical texts track its progression as a sign of serious systemic infection.
