Because medicinal pills (Dan Yao) were taken after the onset of sores, fire-toxin was triggered. Crush fresh *Cyperus rotundus* (Shuizhong Sichao, a type of aquatic herb) and apply it to the affected area; replace it when dry. This is extremely effective.

After the sore healed, toxicity erupted causing swelling and pain due to exposure to the sweat odor of donkeys or horses. Mix equal parts of Calcined Alum (Kufan) and Red Lead (Huandan, processed by wet-grinding and stir-frying until purple), grind into powder, and apply topically.

Extract juice from luffa fruit (Sigua), mix with Palace Powder (Gongfen), and apply. Alternatively, mixing with willow flower juice (Liuhua Zhi) for application is also excellent.

Take 1 liang of Rosin (Songxiang) and 1 qian of Realgar (Xionghuang), grind into powder, roll into strips using bamboo paper, soak in rapeseed oil overnight, take out, hang upside down and burn to collect the dripping oil. Apply frequently when warm. All are effective.

For malignant sores and tinea (Xuan), burn mule dung to ash, grind into powder, and sprinkle on the lesion.

When toxin-sores first appear, use green lotus petals. Moisten with saliva and paste onto the sore to eliminate it immediately. For already ulcerated sores, pasting promotes healing. Green lotus petals can be dried in shade between thin papers for future use.

Any broken sore or traumatic wound must be protected from wind; exposure to wind causes excruciating pain. Use 6 qian of Cicada Slough (Chantui, cleaned of head, feet, and wings), bake dry on tiles, and grind into powder.

This flesh growth resembles rice grains; breaking it causes bleeding and immediate regeneration. Take juice from *Xanthium strumarium* leaves (Canger Ye), drink 3 he internally, and apply the juice topically several times during the day. It will heal quickly.

Sometimes it wraps around hands, feet, waist, or legs. Grind swallow nest mud (Yanwo Ni) into powder, mix with water, and apply.
Alternatively, grind Realgar (Xionghuang) into powder, mix with good vinegar, and apply.
Alternatively, apply chicken comb blood (Jiguan Xue) several times daily.
Alternatively, crush fresh Lily Bulb (Sheng Baihe) with white sugar, mash well, and apply.
Alternatively, burn crucian carp (Jiyu) to ash, mix with vinegar, and apply. All are extremely effective.

The condition resembles peas, feels hot like fire burning, spreads over the face and body within moments, all carrying white pus. Decoct honey and Cimicifuga Rhizome (Shengma) in water. Drink one cup per dose, three to four times daily. Then, use cotton dipped in the Shengma-honey solution to wipe the entire body frequently. It will heal spontaneously.

These sores resemble pearls, initially appearing in the hair, spreading continuously through infection, sometimes fatal. Use:
Crush raw radish (Sheng Luobo), add a little vinegar, mix evenly, and apply. It heals spontaneously.

Lay tender willow leaves on the bed mat; lying on them causes maggots to emerge completely, leading to cure.

Cut fish swim bladder (Yubiao) into inch-long segments, fry crisp in fragrant oil. Consume a few qian each time. For mild cases at the onset, three doses suffice to eliminate it; for severe cases, five or six doses work. For formed nodules, it reduces severity by half. Do not consume after perforation and suppuration. I have seen cases of swelling and painful toxic abscesses near the neck and cheeks; taking this formula eliminates them naturally. Tested repeatedly with consistent success, verified on many individuals.
