《病源论》云∶恶肉者，身里忽有肉如赤豆粒突出，细细长乃如牛马乳大，亦如鸡冠之
状，不痛也，亦久不治，长不已。春冬被恶风所伤，风入肌肉，结瘀血积而生也。
《短剧方》云∶有恶肉病，身中忽有肉如赤豆粒突出，便长推出不息，如牛马乳，亦如
鸡冠状也。不治其为自推出不肯止，亦不痛痒也。此由春冬时，受恶风入肌脉中变成此疾也。
治之宜服漏芦汤，外烧铁烁之，日日稍烁令焦尽也。烁竟以升麻膏敷之，积日乃瘥耳。
（今按∶漏芦汤、升麻膏在治丹之方。）
《病源论》云∶恶脉者，身里忽有赤络，脉起 聚如死蚯蚓状。看如似有水在脉中，
长短皆逐其，络脉所出见是也。由春冬受恶风，入络脉中，其血瘀结所作也。
《短剧方》治恶脉病方∶
宜服五香连翘汤及竹沥汤， 去恶血，敷丹参膏，积日则瘥。亦以白雄鸡屎涂之。（《集
验方》同之。）
《刘涓子方》治恶脉肿毒方∶
乌扇（二两） 升麻（二两，生者用一两） 栀子（十四枚，擘破）
上三物，切，以酒三升，煮取一升半，分为再服，以滓敷肿上甚良。
又云∶升麻汤治恶脉毒肿方∶
升麻（一两） 吴茱萸（一两） 薰陆香（二两） 鸡香舌（一两） 雄黄（一两） 鳖
甲（一两，炙） 甘草（一两） 乌扇（三两） 青木香（一两）
上九物，以水七升煮取二升半，适寒温，分三服，相去一里。治脉肿神良。（今按∶升
麻汤，又有《短剧》治丹之方，药种与此不同。）
The *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Manifestations of All Diseases) states: Regarding "E Rou" (Malignant Flesh), a fleshy protuberance suddenly appears within the body, resembling a red bean in size. It grows slender and long, comparable to the size of a cow or horse's udder, and its shape resembles that of a rooster's comb. It is painless. If left untreated for a long time, it will continue to grow indefinitely. This condition arises from exposure to pathogenic wind during spring and winter; the wind enters the muscles, causing blood stasis to accumulate and form the lesion.
The *Duanju Fang* (Short Formulas) states: There is a disease called "E Rou" (Malignant Flesh), where a fleshy protuberance suddenly emerges from the body like a red bean, continuously pushing outward without stopping. It is as large as a cow or horse's udder and shaped like a rooster's comb. If not treated, it will self-propel and grow incessantly, yet it remains neither painful nor itchy. This results from pathogenic wind invading the muscle channels during spring and winter, transforming into this ailment.
Treatment should involve taking Loulu Tang (Cistanche Decoction) internally, and externally cauterizing the area with a heated iron tool daily until it becomes charred. After cauterization, apply Shengma Gao (Cimicifuga Unguent); recovery will occur after several days. (Note: Loulu Tang and Shengma Gao are found in the section treating Dan Du [Carbuncle].)
The *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* states: Regarding "E Mai" (Malignant Veins), red collaterals suddenly appear within the body. The veins rise and cluster together, resembling dead earthworms. They appear as if fluid is present within the vessels, varying in length, manifesting along the course of the collateral channels. This is caused by pathogenic wind entering the collaterals during spring and winter, leading to blood stasis and coagulation.
The *Duanju Fang* provides a formula for treating E Mai Bing (Malignant Vein Disease):
It is suitable to take Wuxiang Liaoqiao Tang (Five-Aromatic Forsythia Decoction) and Zhuli Tang (Bamboo Sap Decoction) to expel malignant blood, and apply Danshen Gao (Salvia Miltiorrhiza Unguent). Recovery will occur after several days. Alternatively, white male chicken droppings can be applied topically. (This matches the *Jiyan Fang*.)
The *Liu Juanzi Fang* provides a formula for treating E Mai Zhongdu (Malignant Vein Swelling and Toxicity):
Wushan (2 liang), Shengma (2 liang, use 1 liang raw), Zhizi (14 seeds, broken open).
Cut these three herbs, boil in 3 sheng of wine to obtain 1.5 sheng of liquid. Divide into two doses. Apply the dregs to the swelling; this is very effective.
It also states: Shengma Tang (Cimicifuga Decoction) for treating E Mai Duzhong (Malignant Vein Toxic Swelling):
Shengma (1 liang), Wu Zhu Yu (1 liang), Xunlu Xiang (Frankincense) (2 liang), Jixiang She (1 liang), Xionghuang (Realgar) (1 liang), Biejia (Tartar Testudinis) (1 liang, roasted), Gancao (Licorice Root) (1 liang), Wushan (3 liang), Qingmuxiang (Aucklandiae Radix) (1 liang).
Boil these nine herbs in 7 sheng of water to obtain 2.5 sheng of liquid. When the temperature is suitable, divide into three doses. Take them at intervals equivalent to walking one li. This is highly effective for treating vein swelling. (Note: Shengma Tang, as cited in the *Duanju* for treating Dan Du [Carbuncle], contains different herbal ingredients.)
