According to *Chao Shi Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases by Chao Yuanfang) regarding pediatric sores: Children are injured by wind-heat toxic qi, which lodges in the skin. It primarily generates pustules that ulcerate into sores; this condition is named "sores" (chuang).
*Ge Shi Zhou Hou* (Emergency Manual by Ge Hong) treats adults and children who suddenly contract sores, also known as rotting sores (lan chuang), with a prescription for when pustules first appear.

Another formula from *Ge Shi Zhou Hou*:
