When pus is mature but the sore does not ulcerate, the lesion is not hot, appetite is poor, and stools are loose, it indicates Spleen deficiency (Spleen Qi deficiency); treatment should employ tonification and suppuration-promotion with warming of the middle jiao. If pus is clear or excessive, the sore opening is scattered, and flesh fails to regenerate, it indicates interior deficiency with a tendency toward transformation into severe symptoms; vigorous tonification is required. Although necrotic tissue has detached, new flesh grows slowly and appears frost-bitten in color, indicating cold flesh and cold muscles; substantial warming and tonification of Qi and Blood are needed. After ulceration, if there is poor appetite, mental restlessness, insomnia, fever, and thirst, it indicates weak Spleen and Yin deficiency; Zhongyi Yiqi Tang (Supplement the Middle and Augment Qi Decoction) should be used. If the body is cool, pulse is fine, fatigue is present, speech is reluctant, and food tastes bland, it indicates Spleen weakness; awakening the Spleen and assisting the Stomach is indicated. If Wind-Cold invades the sore opening, causing the skin to turn white, split, and fail to contract, external application combined with internal warming tonification is appropriate. If after ulceration the face is sallow, muscles are emaciated, pus is clear and thin, and the lesion color is pale, aromatic and drying herbs that assist the Spleen should be used. If the pulse is large but forceless, or fine, choppy, and slightly deep, accompanied by spontaneous sweating and a cool body, it indicates dual deficiency of Qi and Blood; vigorous tonification is required. If there is bleeding or excessive pus, with five-palm heat, extreme dryness, and insomnia, it indicates collapse of Yang; urgent tonification is necessary. If the sore has healed but re-ulcerates due to sexual exhaustion or sudden acute stress, assistance in tonifying Qi and Blood is still required.
