Mouth area sores appearing between the eyebrows, resembling scabies or tinea, are attributed to heat in the Liver and Gallbladder meridians. Use Chaihu Zhizi San (Bupleurum and Gardenia Powder). If caused by the nursing mother consuming rich flavors and strong wine, use Jiawei Qingwei Yin (Modified Stomach-Clearing Drink). If caused by depression and anger, use Jiawei Xiaoyao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder). Both mother and infant should take the medicine together.
Facial acne: Soak cotton in boiled salt water, apply as a compress and wash the affected area five to seven times daily.
Alternatively: Burn carp heads until carbonized but retaining their nature, grind into powder, and mix with clear sauce juice for topical application.
For facial edema and scrotal edema: Take one liang of Semen Quisqualis (Shijunzi), five qian of White Honey (Baimi), dry by roasting, and grind into powder. Take one to two qian per dose, mixed with rice water.
Mofeng Gao (Wind-Massaging Paste): Treats toxic wind wandering on the face.
Ingredients: Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄) (five qian), Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo, 羌活) (one liang), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng, 防风) (two qian), Cimicifugae Rhizoma (Shengma, 升麻) (two qian), Radix Angelicae Sinensis (Guishen, 归身), Santali Albi Lignum (Baitanxiang, 白檀香), Rhizoma Bletillae (Baiji, 白芨) (each one qian). Soak in five liang of Sesame Oil (Xiangyou) for five days. Simmer over gentle fire until the herbs turn yellow, then remove the dregs. Add five qian of Beeswax (Huangla) and melt.
Feifeng (Lung Wind) arises from blood heat stagnation in the Lung meridian, resulting in alcoholic acne (Jiuci). It is suitable to take Pipa Qingfei San (Loquat Leaf and Lung-Clearing Powder). Alternatively, make pills using paste prepared from boiling Nelumbinis Folium (Heye, 荷叶), and swallow with plain boiled water. Externally, apply powder of Alum (Baifan, 白矾) dissolved in wine.
Pipa Qingfei San (Loquat Leaf and Lung-Clearing Powder): Treats Feifeng (Lung Wind) and alcoholic acne.
Ingredients: Folium Eriobotryae (Pipaye, 枇杷叶), Cortex Morus Albae (Sangbaipi, 桑白皮) (fresh is better, each two qian), Rhizoma Coptidis (Huanglian, 黄连), Cortex Phellodendri (Huangbai, 黄柏) (each one qian), Radix Ginseng (Renshen, 人参), Radix Glycyrrhizae (Gancao, 甘草) (each three fen). Decoct half zhong of water until reduced to seven-tenths. Take far after meals.
Lihei Ban (Dark Spots) mostly occur on women's faces. They result from weak blood failing to nourish the skin, combined with fire-dryness condensation, and are suspected to be caused by indecisiveness regarding matters. It is suitable to take Shenqi Wan (Kidney Qi Pill) to nourish the source of transformation, combined with washing with Yurong San (Jade-Face Powder), while avoiding worry and thought. Another view suggests that wind pathogens invading the skin and phlegm-fluids soaking the zang-fu organs cause dark spots on the face; treatment should follow the specific cause. Another method: Grind Metallonitrum (Mituo seng, 密陀僧) into fine powder, mix with milk for application. Rub the tips of Deer Antler (Lu jiao jian, 鹿角尖) ground in wine onto the area.
Shenqi Wan (see Chuangyang Men); Yurong San (see Qieban).
Qieban (Freckles) are formed due to Yin fluid deficiency failing to control Fire, leading to Fire stagnation and condensation into spots. It is suitable to take Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill). Wash with Yurong San (Jade-Face Powder). With time, it can heal.
Yurong San (Jade-Face Powder): Cleanses Lihei Ban (Dark Spots), Qieban (Freckles), and acne. Its function is to whiten the face and tenderize the skin.
