[Prescription Verse] Black nevi on the face resemble mold spots; small ones are like millet seeds, large ones round like beans. This is caused by blood in the Sunluo collateral vessels being bound and congealed by Yang Qi. Puncture them and apply Shuijing Gao (Crystal Paste) to cure.

[Annotation] This condition occurs on the face, resembling mold spots. Small ones are like millet seeds, large ones like beans, protruding slightly above the skin level. Some appear since childhood, others in middle age. It arises from blood stagnation in the Sunluo collaterals within the Wei (Defensive) division, where Yang Qi binds and congeals. It is suitable to puncture with a thread needle and apply Shuijing Gao (Crystal Paste). After three to four days, scabs will form, and the nevus will fall off naturally. Apply Beiye Gao (Banyan Leaf Paste) afterward, while avoiding soy sauce and vinegar. The healing will leave no scars.

Formula: Shuijing Gao (Crystal Paste)
Usage: Dissolve lime (Calcii Oxidum) in water, take five qian of the powder. Add half a teacup of strong alkali water into the lime powder, with the alkali water level two finger-widths above the lime. Sprinkle fifty glutinous rice grains on the ash. If the alkali water seeps down, add more continuously. Soak for one day and one night (two days and one night in winter). Remove the rice and pound it into a paste. Apply a small amount to the nevus; do not apply too much to avoid damaging healthy flesh.

[Prescription Verse] Shuijing Gao can remove black nevi; alkali water soaks ash with glutinous rice. After one day and night, the rice turns red. Remove and pound into paste for unparalleled efficacy.

Another Formula: Beiye Gao (See Ulcer Section)

[Prescription Verse] Lihei Ban (Dark Brown Spots) resemble dust, darkening over time, originating from worry, thought, and depression. Large ones are like lotus seeds, small ones like red beans. Washing with Yurong San (Jade Beauty Powder) for a long time will naturally flatten them.

[Annotation] This condition is also known as Lihei Ban (Dark Brown Spots). Initially, the color resembles dirt or grime; over time, it becomes black like coal, dry, dull, and lusterless. Sizes vary: small ones like millet grains or red beans, large ones like lotus seeds or Euryale seeds. Shapes may be elongated, oblique, or round, lying flat with the skin. It is caused by worry, thought, and depression leading to weak blood that fails to nourish, combined with Fire and Dryness causing stagnation on the face. It is common in women. It is suitable to wash with Yurong San (Jade Beauty Powder) morning and evening, and frequently rub with fine jade. Over time, it will gradually fade and heal.
