Severe skin abscess — clean curb (anag) (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carbuncle

(Other definitions for carbuncle that I've seen before include "Bright red gem; boil" , "Skin eruption - gemstone" , "Severe abscess in the skin" , "National Gallery's Sainsbury Wing?" , "Architectural eyesore" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
