The *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) provides formulas for treating pediatric scalp tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp).
Formula for treating pediatric scalp tinea capitis:
Take aged white excrement of a rooster, mix with soy sauce and vinegar, wash the lesion, and apply as a dressing once daily.
Another formula:
Burn leaves of turnip (*Brassica rapa*) that have not been soaked in water to ash, mix with lard, and apply.
The *Qianjin Yifang* (Supplement to Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) provides a formula for treating pediatric tinea capitis with alopecia and severe pruritus:
*Puerariae Radix* (Liangge, 野葛) [1 liang], Porcine Adipose Tissue (Zhu Zhi, 猪脂), Ovine Adipose Tissue (Yang Zhi, 羊脂) [each 1 he].
Combine the above three ingredients, decoct until melted, allow to cool, and apply. Not more than three applications are needed. (Same as *Qianjin Fang*).
The *Beiji Qianjin Yaofang* (Emergency Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) provides a formula for treating scalp sores, white alopecia without hair growth, with or without discharge, or dry painful lesions:
Boiled Chicken Eggs (7 eggs, remove whites):
Take only the yolks from this single ingredient, dry-roast them over high heat in a copper vessel until powdered, and apply. Continue until healed.
Another formula:
Take the heart of peach leaves collected in spring or autumn, regardless of quantity, crush to extract juice, and apply. (Both *Qianjin Fang* and *Qianjin Yifang* treat pediatric scalp alopecia by crushing catalpa leaves (*Catalpa ovata*), extracting juice, and applying to the head; it heals.)
Another formula:
Roast crucian carp (*Carassius auratus*), grind into powder, mix with soy sauce, and apply. (Same as above.)
Another formula:
Take dried feces of pigs collected in the twelfth lunar month, grind into powder, and apply. Continue until healed.
The *Qianjin Fang* provides formulas for treating pediatric scalp impetigo/sores:
Lead Carbonate (Hu Fen, 胡粉) [1 liang], *Coptidis Rhizoma* (Huanglian, 黄连) [2 liang]:
Grind the above two ingredients into powder. First wash the lesion to remove crusts, dry thoroughly, and apply. It will heal immediately; if it recurs, apply again as before.
Another formula:
Lead Carbonate (Hu Fen, 胡粉) [2 liang], White Pine Resin (Bai Song Zhi, 白松脂) [3 liang], Mercury (Shui Yin, 水银) [1 liang, finely ground], Porcine Adipose Tissue (Zhu Zhi, 猪脂) [4 liang]:
Decoct the above four ingredients together, strain, then add Lead Carbonate and Mercury. Stir well to mix and apply. The method is the same for adults. (Same as *Qianjin Yifang*).
The *Jiuji Xianfang* (Emergency Immortal Prescriptions) provides a formula for treating chronic pediatric scalp sores that do not heal for years and recur after apparent cure:
Realgar (Xiong Huang, 雄黄, finely ground), *Rhei Radix et Rhizoma* (Dahuang, 大黄), *Phellodendri Cortex* (Huangbai, 黄柏), *Scutellariae Radix* (Huangqin, 黄芩), *Curcumae Longae Rhizoma* (Jianghuang, 姜黄), Orpiment (Cihuang, 雌黄, finely ground), *Angelicae Dahuricae Radix* (Baizhi, 白芷), *Angelicae Sinensis Radix* (Danggui, 当归), *Aucklandiae Radix* (Qingmuxiang, 青木香) [each 4 fen]:
Finely chop the above nine ingredients, soak in vinegar overnight. Decoct with one sheng of porcine adipose tissue until Baizhi turns yellow. Strain the膏 (ointment). Grind 1 liang of Mercury in saliva until dissolved, incorporate into the ointment, stir well, and store in a porcelain container. Before each application, wash the lesion with soap pod (*Gleditsia sinensis*) decoction, dry, and apply the ointment. Change twice daily (day and night) until healed.
