《巢氏病源》小儿白秃候∶白秃之候，头上白点斑剥，初似癣而上有白皮屑，久则生痂又成疮，遂至遍头。
洗刮除其痂，头皮疮孔如箸头大，里有脓汁出，不痛而有微痒时，其里有虫，甚细微难见。九虫论亦云∶是蛲
虫动作而成此疮，乃至自小及长大不瘥，头发秃落，故谓之白秃也。

According to *Chao Shi Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases by Chao Yuanfang) regarding the syndrome of pediatric white alopecia (Bai Tu): The manifestation of white alopecia involves white spots on the scalp that peel off in patches. Initially resembling tinea (Xuan) but with white scales on the surface, over time it forms scabs and evolves into sores, eventually spreading across the entire head.
After washing and scraping off the scabs, the pores of the scalp sores are as large as a chopstick tip, with pus oozing out internally. There is no pain, only occasional slight itching, indicating the presence of parasites inside, which are extremely minute and difficult to see. *Jiu Chong Lun* (Treatise on Nine Parasites) also states: This sore is caused by the activity of pinworms (Ruichong). It may persist from childhood to adulthood without healing, leading to hair loss, hence the name "white alopecia."
*Tang Bencao Zhu* (Commentary on Tang Materia Medica) records a prescription for pediatric white alopecia sores:
Take equal parts of grass from chicken coops and flowers of *Pulsatilla chinensis* (Baitouweng). Burn them to ash, mix with lard rendered in the twelfth lunar month (Layue), and apply. Prior to application, wash the area with acidic rice-washing water.
