[Head Sores and Frostbite Pruritus] Total of eighteen categories
*Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* (Source of Diseases and Symptoms) on Pediatric Head Sores: Due to heat within the zang-fu organs, heat qi rushes upward to the head. Simultaneously, wind-dampness pathogens invade. The damp-heat combats and obstructs the blood and qi, transforming into sores.
*Ying Tong Bao Jian* (Precious Mirror for Infants and Children): Pediatric head sores are caused by heat in the six yang meridians. The meridians of the six yang converge at the head; thus, when heat pathogens attack the yang, causing stagnation and lack of flow, head sores arise.
*Qian Jin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) treats all types of pediatric head sores. If left untreated for a long time, they may transform into carbuncles, accompanied by itching and failure to form scabs. *Lilu Gao* (Veratrum Ointment):
Herbs: *Veratri Rhizoma* (Lilu), *Coptidis Rhizoma* (Huanglian), *Realgar* (Xionghuang), *Scutellariae Radix* (Huangqin), *Pini Resina* (Songzhi) (each 2 liang), *Suis Medulla* (Zhuzhi) (0.5 jin), *Alumen* (Fanshi) (5 liang).
Preparation and Administration: Powder the seven herbs. Boil the pig fat until blended. First wash the affected area with *Rhamni Fructus* (Chilongpi, i.e., tree bark) and *Gastrodiae Rhizoma* (Tianma) decoction. After washing, apply the ointment.
*Qian Jin Fang* treats pediatric head sores that have persisted for over a year without healing.
Herbs: *Pini Resina* (Songzhi), *Sophorae Flavescentis Radix* (Kushen), *Coptidis Rhizoma* (Huanglian) (each 1.5 liang), *Rhei Radix et Rhizoma* (Dahuang), *Cerussa* (Hufen) (each 1 liang), *Scutellariae Radix* (Huangqin), *Hydrargyrum* (Shuiyin) (each 1 liang 6 zhu), *Alumen* (Fanshi) (0.5 liang), *Cnidii Fructus* (Shechuangzi) (18 zhu).
Preparation and Administration: Powder the nine herbs. Mix with pig fat collected in the twelfth lunar month. Grind the mercury until no silver specks are visible, then apply.
Another prescription from *Qian Jin Fang*:
Apply large insect or animal fat directly to the lesion. It also treats tinea capitis (white baldness).
*Qian Jin Yi Fang* (Supplement to Essential Prescriptions) treats pediatric head sores.
Herbs: *Cerussa* (Hufen) (1 liang), *Coptidis Rhizoma* (Huanglian) (2 liang).
Preparation and Administration: Pound and powder these two herbs. Wash the sore to remove scabs, dry thoroughly, and apply. It heals immediately; if it recurs, reapply. It also treats genital sores.
Another prescription from *Qian Jin Yi Fang*:
Herbs: *Cerussa* (Hufen), *Pini Resina* (Songzhi) (each 2 liang), *Hydrargyrum* (Shuiyin) (1 liang), *Suis Adeps* (Zhufangzhi) (4 liang).
Preparation and Administration: Decoct the first four ingredients together, filter out the dregs, add mercury and cerussa, stir to blend, and apply. Adults may use it as well. The *Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang* (Holy惠民 Formulas) has the same formula but requires grinding cerussa with a little water and mercury until the mercury specks disappear before use.
*Qian Jin Yi Fang* treats pediatric heat sores accompanied by restlessness and heat in the body and head, specifically eroding sores.
Wash with *Morus Alba Cortex* (Zibai pi) decoction, and seal/apply fresh tender leaves. It primarily treats ulcerative sores.
*Wai Tai Mi Yao* (Prescriptions Behind the Golden Screen) records Fan Wang’s *Liao Shanghan Baigao* (White Ointment for Cold Damage):
Massage the "Shou Dang" acupoint on the body one thousand times to activate the medicinal power. It also treats malignant sores, pediatric head sores, and equine saddle sores on cattle. First wash the malignant sore with salt water, pat dry, apply the ointment to the swelling, massage towards the fire for one thousand times, twice daily, until the swelling subsides.
Herbs: *Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata* (Tianxiong), *Aconiti Radix* (Wutou, prepared), *Polystachyos Herba* (Mangcao), *Akebiae Trifoliate Fructus* (Yangzhizhu) (each 3 liang).
Preparation and Administration: Chop the four herbs. Soak in three sheng of vinegar overnight. Construct an east-facing stove exposed to dew. Prepare twelve piles of wet earth, each about one sheng. Melt three jin of lard in a copper vessel placed on the stove. Use reed firewood to melt the fat, add the soaked herbs, and boil. Remove and place on the earth piles. Return to fire to boil. Repeat this process twelve times until all earth piles are used. Strain the dregs. For cold damage headache, take orally with wine, size of an apricot kernel, cover warmly to induce sweating.

Preparation and Administration: Sieve the two herbs through silk. Blend with *Jia Jian* (Insect Lacquer) to a paste consistency. Apply to head sores three times daily. If made as a powder, no blending is needed; it adheres naturally to exudates. This powder also treats various heat sores, yellow fluid weeping sores, honey sores, male genital erosion with itching and dampness, pediatric head sores with gan infection, perioral fatty sores, and snail-like sores. (Tianma Cao leaves resemble hemp leaves, grows in winter, flowers in summer like mouse-tail flowers.)
