论疥疮 论黄水疮 论痱疮 论紫白癜风
天师曰∶皮毛治法者，感轻之症，病未深入营卫，故从皮毛上治之也。如病疥疮、黄水疮、痱疮是
也。此等症，不必用汤药。疥疮用轻粉一钱，油胡桃末三钱，不可去油，猪板油三钱，白薇末二钱，防风
末一钱，苏叶末一钱。捣成丸如弹子大，擦疮处，一日即愈。
黄水疮，凡毒水流入何处，即生大水泡疮，即为黄水疮，手少动之即破。此热毒郁于皮毛也，当以
汤洗之即愈。方用雄黄五钱，防风五钱。二味用水十碗，煎数沸，去渣取汁，洗疮上即愈。
痱疮，以暑气伤热而生也。有雪水洗之更佳，随洗随灭。如不能得，有一方最妙，用黄瓜切成片，
擦之即愈。此皆从皮毛治之也。
张公曰∶凡人生白癜风与紫癜风者，乃暑热之时，人不
知而用日晒之手巾，擦其身中之汗，便成此病，最无害而最难愈。方用苍耳子一两，防风三钱，黄 三
两，备为末，水打成丸。米汤每日早晨送下三钱，一料服完必愈。神方也，紫白癜俱效。
论脓窠疮粉刺 论顽癣 论冻疮 论坐板疮
天师曰∶肌肤者，虽同是皮毛，而各有治法。肌肤之病，从腠理而出，较皮毛略深，如人生脓窠
疮、粉刺、顽癣之类是也。然皆气血不和，故虫得而生焉。活其气血，则病自愈。脓窠疮，用当归三钱，
生地三钱，熟地三钱，白芍三钱，麦冬三钱，天门冬三钱，川芎一钱，茯苓三钱，甘草一钱，柴胡一钱，
人参一钱，白术三钱，黄 五钱，荆芥一钱，薏仁五钱，水煎服。此方妙在补气补血之药，而略用柴胡、
荆芥以发之。先服四剂，必然疮口尽加臌胀作脓。四剂后，去柴胡，加五味子五粒，又服四剂，则满身之
疮如扫而愈矣。
粉刺之症，乃肺热而风吹之，多成此刺。虽无关人病，然书生娇女各生此病，亦欠丰致。我留一方，
为之添容，未为不可。方用轻粉一钱，黄芩一钱，白芷一钱，白附子一钱，防风一钱，各为细末，蜜调为
丸。于每日洗面之时，多擦数遍，临睡之时，又重洗面而擦之。不须三日，自然消痕灭瘢矣。
惟有顽癣之方最难治理，然一经我治，亦易收功。方用楝树皮一两，白薇一两，轻粉三钱，冰片
一钱，生甘草一钱，蜗牛三钱，火焙干，有壳亦可用，杜大黄根一两，各为细末。先以荔枝壳扒碎其癣皮，
而后以此药末，用麻油调搽之，三
日即结靥而愈。此皆治肌肤之法，可以为式。
张公曰∶冻疮乃人不能耐寒。而肌肤冻死，忽遇火气，乃成冻疮耳。耳上冻疮，必人用手去温
之，反成疮也。方用黄犬屎，露天久者变成白色，用炭火 过为末，再用锻石敷，陈年者，炒，各等
分，以麻油调之，敷上。虽成疮而烂。敷上即止痛生肌，神方也。若耳上面上虽冻而不成疮者，不必
用此药，止消荆芥煎汤洗之，三日愈。
坐板疮亦是肌肤之病，止消轻粉一钱。萝卜子种三钱，冰片半分，杏仁去皮尖十四粒，研为末。
以手擦之疮口上，一日即愈。神效奇绝，无以过也。
[Methods of Treating the Skin and Hair]
On Scabies, Impetigo (Yellow Water Sore), Prickly Heat, and Purple-White Vitiligo
The Heavenly Master said: The method of treating the skin and hair refers to conditions where the pathogenic factor is light and has not deeply penetrated the Ying (Nutrient) and Wei (Defensive) levels. Therefore, treatment is applied from the level of the skin and hair. Examples include scabies, impetigo (yellow water sore), and prickly heat. For such conditions, decoctions need not be used. For scabies, use 1 qian of Calomel (Qingfen), 3 qian of crushed oil walnut kernels (do not remove the oily membrane), 3 qian of pork back fat, 2 qian of powdered Cynanchum atratum (Baiwei), 1 qian of powdered Saposhnikovia divaricata (Fangfeng), and 1 qian of powdered Perilla leaf (Suye). Pounded into pills the size of a bullet, rub onto the affected area; it will heal in one day.
Impetigo (Huangshichuang): Whenever toxic fluid flows to any part of the body, large blister-like sores appear, which are called impetigo. They rupture with slight touch. This is caused by heat-toxin stagnating in the skin and hair. It should be washed with a decoction to heal. The formula uses 5 qian of Realgar (Xionghuang) and 5 qian of Saposhnikovia divaricata (Fangfeng). Boil these two ingredients in ten bowls of water for several boils, strain the dregs, and take the juice to wash the sores; they will heal.
Prickly Heat (Feichuang): Generated by heat injury from summer heat. Washing with snow water is even better, and the rash disappears as it is washed. If snow water is unavailable, there is an excellent formula: slice cucumber and rub it on the affected area; it will heal. These are all methods of treating from the skin and hair level.
Master Zhang said: Vitiligo (Baifudian) and purple vitiligo (Zidianfeng) occur when people, during hot summer days, unknowingly use towels exposed to sunlight to wipe sweat from their bodies, causing this disease. It is harmless but difficult to cure. The formula uses 1 liang of Xanthium fruit (Cangerzi), 3 qian of Saposhnikovia divaricata (Fangfeng), and 3 liang of Phellodendron bark (Huangbai). Grind into fine powder, make pills with water. Take 3 qian daily in the morning with rice soup. One course of treatment will ensure a cure. This is a miraculous formula, effective for both purple and white vitiligo.
[Methods of Treating the Flesh/Skin]
On Crusted Eczema, Acne, Stubborn Tinea, Frostbite, and Sitting Sores
The Heavenly Master said: Although flesh/skin belongs to the category of skin and hair, each has its own treatment methods. Diseases of the flesh/skin emerge from the Couli (interstices/pores), slightly deeper than those of the superficial skin and hair. Examples include crusted eczema, acne, and stubborn tinea. However, these are all due to disharmony of Qi and Blood, allowing parasites/worms to generate. By activating Qi and Blood, the disease heals itself.
For crusted eczema, use 3 qian of Angelica sinensis (Danggui), 3 qian of Rehmannia glutinosa prepared with wine (Shudihuang), 3 qian of fresh Rehmannia root (Shengdihuang), 3 qian of White Peony Root (Baishao), 3 qian of Ophiopogon japonicus (Maidong), 3 qian of Asparagus cochinchinensis (Tianmendong), 1 qian of Ligusticum chuanxiong (Chuanxiong), 3 qian of Poria cocos (Fuling), 1 qian of Licorice root (Gancao), 1 qian of Bupleurum chinense (Chaihu), 1 qian of Ginseng (Renshen), 3 qian of Atractylodes macrocephala (Baizhu), 5 qian of Scutellaria baicalensis (Huangqin), 1 qian of Schizonepeta (Jingjie), and 5 qian of Coix seed (Yiren). Decoct in water and take orally. The brilliance of this formula lies in using herbs that tonify Qi and Blood, while slightly using Bupleurum and Schizonepeta to vent and release. Take four doses first; the sores will inevitably swell and suppurate completely. After four doses, remove Bupleurum, add five grains of Schisandra chinensis (Wuweizi), and take another four doses; then the sores all over the body will be cleared away like sweeping.
Acne symptoms arise from lung heat combined with wind exposure, often forming these thorn-like bumps. Although not life-threatening, scholars and delicate young women often suffer from this, which detracts from their elegance. I leave a formula to enhance appearance, which is acceptable. The formula uses 1 qian of Calomel (Qingfen), 1 qian of Scutellaria baicalensis (Huangqin), 1 qian of Angelica dahurica (Baizhi), 1 qian of Typhonium rhizome (Baifuzi), and 1 qian of Saposhnikovia divaricata (Fangfeng). Grind each into fine powder, mix with honey to form pills. Rub multiple times during daily face washing, and again after thoroughly washing the face before sleep. Within three days, scars and marks will naturally disappear.
The formula for stubborn tinea is the most difficult to manage, but once treated by me, results are easily achieved. The formula uses 1 liang of Melia azedarach bark (Lianshupi), 1 liang of Cynanchum atratum (Baiwei), 3 qian of Calomel (Qingfen), 1 qian of Borneol (Bingpian), 1 qian of raw Licorice root (Shengancao), 3 qian of Snail (Woniu, baked dry, shell included), and 1 liang of Polygonum multiflorum root/stem (Du Dahuanggen). Grind all into fine powder. First, scrape the tinea skin with crushed lychee shells, then apply the powder mixed with sesame oil. It will scab and heal in three days. These are methods for treating the flesh/skin, serving as a model.
Master Zhang said: Frostbite occurs because humans cannot tolerate cold; the skin and flesh freeze, and upon sudden exposure to fire heat, frostbite forms. For frostbite on the ears, if one tries to warm it with hands, it may turn into a sore. The formula uses feces of a yellow dog that has been left outdoors until turning white, calcined over charcoal fire into powder, mixed with calcined alum (Duanshi). Use aged dog feces, stir-fried, in equal parts. Mix with sesame oil and apply. Even if the sore is ulcerated, applying this immediately stops pain and generates flesh. This is a miraculous formula. If the ears or face are frozen but have not formed sores, do not use this medicine; simply wash with a decoction of Schizonepeta (Jingjie); it will heal in three days.
Sitting sores are also diseases of the flesh/skin. Simply use 1 qian of Calomel (Qingfen), 3 qian of Radish seeds (Luobozhong), half a qian of Borneol (Bingpian), and fourteen apricot kernels (Xingren) with skin and tips removed. Grind into powder. Rub onto the sore with hand; it will heal in one day. Miraculous and extraordinary, nothing surpasses it.
