Shatayonaka (vata), ushtragala (pitta), parisravi (kapha), kambukavarta (all three doshas) and unmargi (foreign body); the all-dosha and foreign-body kinds are incurable.

Detailed answer

Verse 49 says all kinds are by nature very hard to cure and that the sannipata and shalyaja kinds should be left alone. A footnote defines bhagandara as a very painful boil within two finger-breadths of the anus that bursts there.
