The manifestation of Bai Tu (White Baldness) involves white, patchy spots on the scalp. Initially resembling Tinea (ringworm), it presents with white scales on the surface. Over time, crusts form and develop into sores, eventually spreading across the entire head. After washing and scraping off the crusts, crater-like sores the size of a chopstick head appear on the scalp, exuding pus. The condition is painless but accompanied by occasional mild itching due to the presence of parasites within (which are extremely minute and difficult to see). The *Jiu Chong Lun* (Treatise on Nine Types of Parasites) also states that this sore is caused by the activity of Enterobius vermicularis (pinworms). This condition persists from childhood to adulthood without healing, leading to hair loss; hence it is called "Bai Tu" (White Baldness). It is appropriate to treat it with the following formulas.
Formula 1 for treating baldness sores:
Veratrum Viride Rhizome (Lilu) (2 qian), Alum (Kufan), Sophora Root (Kushen), Chinese Gall (Wubeizi) (each 2 qian).
Grind the above ingredients into a fine powder. Mix with sesame oil and apply topically.
Formula 2 for treating baldness sores, transmitted by Yang Zideng from Linying:
Immortal Filth (Xianren Gou - i.e., the greasy dirt found at the bottom of coffin boards used in burials, ground until soft, quantity as needed).
Take one crucian carp, fry it熟 in sesame oil until cooked, remove the fish, and use the oil to mix with the Immortal Filth. Apply a thick layer (equivalent to 1 qian) onto the bald area. It will heal in one or two applications.
Formula 3 for treating baldness sores: First wash the affected area clean with water. Mix distilled spirits (baijiu) with mustard powder, apply the mixture to the lesion, and it will heal immediately.
Formula 4 for treating baldness sores:
Chalcanthite (Danfan) (3 qian), Frankincense (Ruxiang), Myrrh (Moyao), Arnebia Root (Zicao), Table Salt (Shiyan) (each 3 qian), Wood Pitch (Mudi Qingxi) (1 qian).
Boil the Zicao and Shiyan in oil for an extended period, then add the first three ingredients (Danfan, Ruxiang, Moyao). Shave the hair and apply the mixture.
Formula 5 for treating scalp sores with miraculous efficacy, verified by Yun Song's younger brother:
Arnebia Root (Zicao), Myrrh (Moyao), Huai Salt (Huaiyan) (each 3 qian, stir-fried), Wood Pitch (Mudi Qingxi) (2 liang), Chalcanthite (Danfan) (1 qian), Rock Milk (Shiru), Camphor (Zhangnao) (each 2 qian).
Grind the above ingredients into a fine powder. Blend evenly with wood pitch. First shave the hair completely, then wash the area clean. Apply the medicine once daily. The effect is miraculous.
Formula 6 for treating pediatric white baldness sores:
Phellodendron Bark (Huangbo Pi), Alum (Kufan) (1.5 qian), Sulfur (Liuhuang), Sha Powder (Shaofen), Calomel (Qingfen) (each 1 qian).
Grind the above ingredients into a fine powder. Mix with lard rendered in the twelfth lunar month. Rub three times daily. Additionally, rub garlic on the white patches every morning.
Formula 7 for treating bald scalp sores: Use one crucian carp weighing 3-4 liang. Remove the guts, fill the cavity with tangled hair, wrap in paper, and burn until carbonized (preserving medicinal properties). Add 2 qian of Realgar (Xionghuang). Grind together into a powder. Mix with refined oil and apply. Thoroughly wash and dry the area before application.
Another formula: Burn Chinaberry Bark (Kulianpi) and mix with lard for topical application.
