[Formula Song] Fetal convulsion and erysipelas appear at the newborn stage, resembling chickenpox with slightly red roots; appearing and disappearing intermittently, spreading to the neck, subsequent manifestations are identical to Chiyou Dan (migratory erysipelas).

[Note] This condition arises from maternal fright transmitted to the fetus. After birth, within the first year of age, the infant suddenly presents with red halos around the eyelids, a cyanotic and dark complexion, irritability, fever, and night crying, or a face reddish like rouge. This belongs to latent heat inside the body dispersing to the face, resembling chickenpox with slightly red bases, appearing and disappearing intermittently, extending to the neck, subsequently developing into erysipelas. Initially, use Sisheng San (Four Saints Powder) to wash the eyes; the judgment of favorable/unfavorable forms and treatment methods are the same as for Chiyou Dan. If the condition spreads to the chest and breasts, accompanied by phlegm, wheezing, and convulsions, this belongs to fire-toxin attacking inward, fearing transformation into Jingfeng (pediatric convulsion); it is appropriate to administer Baijie San (Hundred Resolutions Powder) and Wuhe Tang (Five Harmonies Decoction) to rescue.
