小儿遍身疮疥，虫巢脓血浸淫，此由胎毒内藏深，故有许多
形症。凉血杀虫解毒，胡麻丸子通神，切防搽洗毒归心，腹痛神昏
命尽。
若是要用搽药，瘙痒无过蛇床，螶虫作楚用雄黄， 痛肿寒水
为当。不痒须加狗脊，喜盐汤火硫磺，斑猫同研熟尤良，手擦鼻闻
搽上。
小儿赤游丹毒，虽有十种，皆由心火内盛，热与血搏。或起
于手足，或发于头面胸背，游移上下，其热如火，痛不可言，赤
如丹砂，故名丹毒。自腹出四肢者易治，自四肢入腹者难治。疗
此症者，其法必先用表药，以解热毒，方可搽敷。若遽用药搽，
便气无所泄，而入于里，伤人者多矣。
小儿丹毒，一岁以上者，易治。未周岁者，难治。
有因惊后而发丹者，此毒气由内出外，易治。有先发丹而后
惊者，此毒气由外入内者，多死不治。

Forsythiae Fructus (Lianqiao, 连翘), Morus Albae Cortex (Sangbaipi, 桑白皮), Pulsatillae Radix (Baitouweng, 白头翁), Moutan Cortex (Mudanpi, 牡丹皮), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng, 防风), Phellodendri Cortex (Huangbai, 黄柏), Cinnamomi Ramulus (Rougui, 肉桂), Fermented Soybean (Douchi, 豆豉), Angelicae Pubescentis Radix (Duohuo, 独活), Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix (Qinjiao, 秦艽) each five qian, and Mantidis Oötheca (Sangpiaoxiao, 桑螵蛸) three and a half qian. Grind into fine powder, make pills with refined honey, and take with Decoction of Juncus Effusus (Jiangxin Tang, 灯心汤).
*Xi Jiang Yue*: Infants suffering from sores and scabies all over the body, with pus and blood oozing from insect nests, this is due to deep-seated fetal toxins stored internally, thus manifesting various symptoms and signs. Treatment should focus on cooling the blood, killing parasites, and detoxifying; Hu Ma Wan (Sesame Seed Pills) offers miraculous results. One must strictly prevent external application or washing from causing toxins to return to the Heart meridian; otherwise, it may lead to abdominal pain, coma, and death.
If external medication is required, for itching, Herba Cnidii (Shechuangzi, 蛇床子) is unparalleled; if pain is caused by insect bites, use Realgar (Xionghuang, 雄黄); for painful swelling, Halitum (Hanshui Shi, 寒水石) is appropriate. If there is no itching, add Radix Drynariae (Gouji, 狗脊); those preferring salty flavors may use Salt Soup or Fire Sulfur; Mylabris (Banmao, 斑猫) ground together and cooked is particularly effective, applied by hand rubbing, nasal inhalation, or topical application.
Pediatric erysipelas (Chi You Dan Du, 赤游丹毒), although divided into ten types, is all caused by excessive internal Heart fire, where heat collides with blood. It may arise in the hands and feet, or appear on the head, face, chest, and back, wandering up and down. Its heat is like fire, pain is unbearable, and its color is red like cinnabar, hence the name Erysipelas. Cases originating from the abdomen and spreading to the limbs are easy to treat; cases entering the abdomen from the limbs are difficult to treat. The method for treating this condition must first use exterior-releasing drugs to resolve heat toxins before applying external compresses. If one hastily applies external medication, Qi will have no outlet and will sink inward, harming the patient significantly.
For pediatric erysipelas, children over one year old are easy to treat. Those under one year old are difficult to treat.
Cases developing after fright involve toxins moving from inside out, which are easy to treat. Cases where erysipelas appears first followed by fright involve toxins moving from outside in, which often result in death and are incurable.
