Nang Fa (Scrotal Abscess) arises on the scrotum and belongs to the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian. The condition is severe, caused by excessive Heart Fire and deficient Kidney Yin, with Dampness flowing downward, thus generating this toxic sore. It can be treated by wrapping the area with fresh green lotus leaves, or with perilla leaves that have been washed and de-hairyed. If unavailable, use oil-coated paper boiled with Terminalia chebula Retz. Fruit (Ella Fructus) to wrap the lesion. Internally, Shisanwei Liqi Baidu Yin (Thirteen-Ingredient Qi-Regulating and Toxin-Resolving Decoction) may be taken, along with external application of medicaments.

She Tou Ding (Snake-Head Carbuncle) occurs on the thumb, and also on the second and third fingers. It results from the accumulation of Heat-Evil in the Five Zang Organs, manifesting externally at the tips of the fingers where the Six Channels begin. Treatment requires purging Heat-Toxin from the Six Channels; one must administer Lianqiao Xiedu Tang (Forsythia Toxin-Expelling Decoction) internally and apply external medicaments. At the initial stage, washing with decoction of Eleutherine bulbosa (Du Jiao Lian) can resolve it; this method is not used after ulceration.
