Treat external hemorrhoids.
Suhe You (Styrax Oil), Huaimeifen (Sophora Flower Powder) (each 1 liang), Xiongdan (Ursi Bile, Bear Gallbladder), Bingpian (Borneolum Syntheticum) (each 5 qian).
Grind and mix, add Nengao (Soft Plaster) 1.5 liang, grind again, seal tightly to prevent leakage of volatile components. Apply to the affected area when needed. Once pain subsides, apply twice daily, and internally administer Kuzhi Wan (Hemorrhoid-Withering Pill). See the section on Pills and Powders for the formula.

Treat stubborn malignant tinea in the yin region, and also treat Hengxuan (Inguinal Lymphadenitis).
In early May, take several jin of fresh Gengjiao (Gleditsia Sinensis Fruit), pound into a paste, put into a pot, boil to make soup, and decoct until thick. Strain out the liquid, change water, and decoct two or three more times. Remove dregs, combine all juices in one pot, and slowly decoct into a plaster. To treat Hengxuan, drink this plaster with glutinous rice porridge. To treat stubborn tinea, add vinegar and decoct until thick and viscous. After washing and shaving the area, apply the plaster. Shave and apply daily; the effect is extraordinarily miraculous.

Treat Juzu (Paronychia/Abscess around fingernails/toenails).
Yelangdu (Stellera Chamaejasme Root) (1 liang), Huangqi (Astragali Radix) (2 liang).
Soak in vinegar overnight, add Zhu You (Porcine Fat) 5 liang, decoct over low heat. Extract 2 liang of the liquid, strain to remove dregs, allow to cool to dissipate "fire qi," and apply to seal the wound. Change three times daily; poison dissipates and the wound closes.

Treat all types of large Yong (Large Abscesses).
Shexiang (Moschus, Musk) (Dangmenzi is better), Wulingzhi (Trogopterori Faeces), Xionghuang (Realgar), Ruxiang (Olibanum, Frankincense), Moyao (Myrrha), Suhe You (Styrax Oil) (each 1 liang), Chansu (Chantaris Cinnabarinae Venenum, Toad Venom) (5 qian), Dongtian Nengao (Dongtian Soft Plaster) (8 liang).
Grind all herbs into fine powder, mix thoroughly with Suhe You and Nengao until perfectly blended. Apply on an empty stomach around the affected area. If it dries, moisten with wine using a chicken feather brush. The effect is miraculous. Internally administer Xingxiao Wan (Awakening and Eliminating Pill) for immediate cure.

Treat carbuncles and swellings, capable of drawing out toxins and relieving pain. Use only when necessary for cases with extreme redness and swelling/pain. Contraindicated for Baiju (White Gangrene/Cold Ulcer).
Pound Bamiaoren (Cannabis Fructus, Hemp Seed) into a mud-like paste, wrap well in silk cloth, and bind to the affected area. Only non-pregnant women and men suffering from Yang-pattern syndromes may use this binding method. Remove once pain stops.
Others such as Qanzhui Gao contain Bamiaoren, and Ji Yu Gao contains Badou (Crotonis Semen, Croton Seed). These two substances have very strong pulling/drawing power. Application on pregnant women can cause abortion; application on Baiju patients will worsen the condition.

Treat Meiyang Jiedu (Syphilitic Condyloma/Tumor).
Ren Zhijia (Human Nail), Xuyü (Hair Knot).
Roast on a tile until carbonized but retaining efficacy, grind finely. For every 1 liang of powder, add 1 qian of Shexiang (Moschus), grind again, and apply daily. If in the initial stage, take 4 qian of Sanhuang Wan (Three-Yellow Pill) at dawn (Wugeng time) daily, taken down with hot aged wine. Cover up after drinking until drunk to induce sweating, or alternatively, take Xiegan Tang (Liver-Draining Decoction) alternating morning and evening.
Ma said: This formula promotes flesh growth and wound closure, and is extremely effective. However, when fire-toxin is severe, using it too early causes harm.
