Ye Yuanfang stated: Take white charcoal in any quantity, heat it until red-hot. First, fill a basin with boiling water, throw the red-hot charcoal into it, and then filter out the ash-infused water. When the temperature is suitable for washing (not scalding), wash the sore with this solution, and it will heal.

The son of the fourth nephew was over one year old, covered in patches of suppurating sores on his head. After using this medicine two or three times, he formed scabs and healed.

Wuchen (House Dust) is also known as "Wulongwei" (a plant). Grind it to an extremely fine powder using Mahong Jiao (Mahuang oil residue/coarse sesame oil), apply externally. Pain may occur but is tolerable.

Sun Yingzhong said that he has seen many people use this method successfully.

Boil chicken eggs until cooked, stir-fry the yolks until oil is extracted. Mix the oil with Li Fen (calamine powder) and apply externally.

This promotes tissue regeneration and relieves pain.

Human teeth in any quantity, calcined. Mix evenly with a small amount of Qingfen (Calomel) and Shexiang (Musk). If the wound is moist, sprinkle the dry powder; if dry, mix with raw oil for application.

Zhao Junyou, Prefect's Assistant, stated that repeated trials were effective.

Yanzhi (Vermilion/Cinnabar powder) 1 qian, Xuejie (Dragon's Blood) 1 qian, Qingfen (Calomel) 1 qian, Shexiang (Musk) 0.5 qian.
Grind all ingredients into a fine powder and apply dryly to the affected area.

For sores resembling a cow's eye with continuous pus discharge, this method was passed down by Ge Bangmei.
First, place a small amount of salt inside the ear of a white cow, then collect the earwax/debris from the ear. Apply this to the sore for healing. Without salt, the cow's ear would not itch, making it difficult to obtain the debris.

Rinse the mouth with salt water and clean the sore thoroughly. Then, take a small amount of salt, chew together with fresh or old Hu Ye (Oak leaf) until pulpy, and apply the paste to the sore. If the sore has not closed, repeat the previous method; it yields miraculous results. It can be applied whether the condition is wet or dry.

Wuweizi (Schisandra Fruit) 1 liang, Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis) 0.5 liang, Lacha (Aged Tea) 0.5 liang, Shexiang (Musk) as needed.
Grind into a fine powder. Sprinkle dryly or mix with raw oil for application. Adding a small amount of Qingfen (Calomel) is particularly effective.

It also treats Shunai Zhi (Mouse Milk Hemorrhoids/Fistula). From Jiyan Fang (Collected Effective Prescriptions), it is truly a miraculous medicine.

Clean the root of Yuanhua (Genkwa Flos/Daphne Genkwa) thoroughly. Keep it moist during processing; do not let it touch iron vessels. Pound it in wooden or stone mortars to extract the juice. Soak a thread in this juice for half a day or overnight. Use this thread to tie around the tumor/lipoma. It will fall off after one night. If it does not fall off, replace the thread. It will naturally fall off within no more than two attempts. Afterwards, apply a mixture of Longgu (Fossilized Bones) and Hezi (Chebula Fruit) powder to the wound to promote closure. Using the above method to treat Shunai Zhi has proven effective repeatedly. The method of tying tumors is also recorded in Su Shen Liang Fang, which uses spiders, but that method is labor-intensive. Soaking the thread in strong Hua Pao (Zanthoxylum/Bitter Pepper) decoction is also acceptable. Zhao's younger sister-in-law once used this method to tie a tumor on her waist, and it fell off in less than half a day.
