[Supplementary Discussion]
The condition known as Qicao (a type of skin tumor, resembling a date pit) arises from excessive fear, worry, and overthinking, combined with incessant weeping. These factors generate residual toxins that transform into the disease. Initially, it appears on the neck, lacking distinct head or tail, resembling a date pit. It may migrate within the subcutaneous tissue, causing alternating chills and fever, along with chest fullness. Its root lies in the Heart.
Formulas
Fanshi Baizhu San (Alum and Atractylodes Powder) [Source: *Qianjin Fang*]. Treats Qicao. Symptoms include initial onset below the neck, without head or tail, resembling a date pit, with lumps migrating under the skin, causing alternating chills and fever and chest fullness. This condition results from emotional fluctuations and weeping, with its root in the Heart. Alum serves as the sovereign herb, and Baizhu as the minister herb.
Ingredients: Fanshi (Alumen), Baizhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Kongqing (Azurite), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (each 3 fen); Xixin (Asari Radix) (1 liang); [Missing character, likely Gui], alternatively Gan Rougui (Dried Cinnamon Bark) (1 liang); Banmao (Mylabris) (1 fen, remove head, feet, and wings, stir-fry with glutinous rice until yellow); Gouqi (Lycii Fructus) [or alternatively Gouqigen (Lycii Radicis Cortex)]; Dichaon (Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix) (each 1 fen, remove head, feet, and wings, stir-fry with glutinous rice until yellow); Gan Wunaozhi (Dried Ura Brain Fat) (approx. size of two beans).
Preparation and Administration: Grind the above herbs and sieve them. Take one fangcunbi (a measure approx. 2.74 ml) of powder with vinegar sauce, three times daily. If the lesion is located superiorly, lie on your side; if inferiorly, sleep with a high pillow to facilitate the downward flow of the medicine. Avoid raw vegetables, peaches, plums, sparrow meat, raw blood, and other "fa wu" (stimulating foods that may exacerbate disease).
