The *Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Symptoms of All Diseases* states: When wind-pathogen invades the head, it causes hair loss and muscle atrophy in areas of deficiency. The sores may be as large as a coin or as large as a finger, with no hair regrowth; thus, it is called "Ghost-Licked Head" (Guishi Tou).
The *Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold* states: Burn fox bone into powder, mix with lard (Porcine Fat), and apply topically.
The *Chan Jing* states: Take one piece of tangled hair the size of a duck, one vinegar-marinated crucian carp, one qian (approx. 3-4g) of Sophora Root (Kushen), one Aconite root (Fuzi), two liang (approx. 60g) of Realgar (Xionghuang), and four sheng (approx. 800ml) of lard. These six ingredients are crushed and sifted into fine powder. Lard is used to decoct the hair and fish until completely dissolved. The various drug powders are added, and the mixture is strained. Apply to the sores for good effect.
The *Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Symptoms of All Diseases* states: Heat in the zang-fu organs rushes upward to the head. If this is compounded by wind-dampness, damp-heat clump together, damaging qi and blood. The blood changes quality and generates sores.
