王肯堂曰∶恶疮,诸痛痒疮,皆属于心,诸湿肿满,皆属于脾,心主血,脾主
肉,血热而肉湿,湿热相合,溃败肌肤,浸淫不休,不可以定名命之,故谓之恶疮也。
然有辨焉,如疥癣瘾疹之属,拂郁气血,在皮肤腠理间者,可以表而散,《内经》有谓
汗之则疮已是矣。若郁气血在肌肉之分,外达皮肤,作寒热而生脓者,或七情所招,或
膏粱之变,皆宜解内热,不宜汗也,张仲景所谓疮家不可发汗,汗之则痉者是矣,一
疮而有宜汗不宜汗之戒,盖热有浅深表里故也。故疮在皮肤,则当因其轻而扬之,汗
之浴之,外以杀虫润燥,皆解凝结涎沫之药敷之;疮之在肌肉,则当因其重而减之,

Wang Kentang stated: "All painful, itching sores and ulcers belong to the Heart; all dampness, swelling, and fullness belong to the Spleen. The Heart governs Blood, and the Spleen governs Flesh. When Blood is hot and Flesh is damp, damp-heat combines, causing skin and muscle to ulcerate and exude ceaselessly. Since it cannot be named specifically, it is called 'E Chuang' (Malignant Ulcer)."
However, differentiation is necessary. Conditions such as scabies, tinea, and urticaria involve stagnation of Qi and Blood in the skin and interstices; these can be resolved by releasing the exterior through sweating, as stated in the *Neijing*: "Sweating cures sores." If Qi and Blood stagnation is located in the muscle layer, extending outward to the skin, presenting with chills, fever, and pus formation, whether caused by emotional disturbances or dietary excesses of rich/greasy foods, one should clear internal heat rather than induce sweating. This aligns with Zhang Zhongjing's principle that patients with sores should not be sweated, as sweating leads to spasms. Thus, there are contraindications regarding sweating for different sores because heat has varying depths and locations (exterior vs. interior). Therefore, if the sore is in the skin, treat its lightness by dispersing it via sweating and bathing, and externally apply insecticidal and moisturizing agents, as well as drugs resolving condensed phlegm and foam. If the sore is in the muscle, treat its heaviness by reducing it, clearing heat from the meridians, cooling Blood and Qi, and externally applying ointments that promote pus discharge and tissue regeneration. If the sore is on the vertex of the head, use shooting methods to extract it, employing cold-natured herbs processed with wine, combined with wind-dispelling herbs to ascend, and externally apply insecticidal and heat-clearing agents. Understanding these three principles covers more than half of the treatment of sores. (From *Yi Xue Zhun Sheng*)
