【方歌】疥疮干湿虫砂脓,各经蕴毒风化成,治论上下分肥瘦,清风利湿兼杀虫。
【注】此病证有干疥、湿疥、虫疥、砂疥、脓窠疥五种分类,虽然形态有五种不同,但总归是由于各经络蕴积毒素,日久化火,兼受风湿之邪,化生此疾,也可能通过传染而发病。凡是疥疮先从手指缝间开始发作,蔓延遍全身,瘙痒无度。如果肺经燥热偏盛,则生干疥,表现为皮肤干枯瘙痒,起白色皮屑;如果脾经湿气偏盛,则生湿疥,表现为肿胀作痛,破溃流出黄水,严重时流出黑汁;如果肝经风邪偏盛,则生虫疥,瘙痒深入骨髓,抓挠不知疼痛;如果心血凝滞,则生砂疥,形态如细砂粒,红肿痒痛,抓破有水渗出;如果肾经湿热下注,则生脓窠疥,疥疮形状如豆粒,二便不利且瘙痒,脓液清淡色白;或者是脾经湿气偏盛,也会生脓窠疥,但特点是顶部含有稠厚脓液,痒痛并见,这是其不同之处。疥疮虽然是表浅有余之证,但体质虚弱的人也会得,以便秘为实证,以便溏为虚证。也有因虚而导致大便干燥的,如风秘则大便干燥,血分枯燥则大便涩滞。又根据疮形色泽深浅,以及脉搏气息的有力无力来辨别虚实。初起属于实证的人,都宜服用防风通圣散;虚证者服用荆防败毒散透发邪气。等到病情稳定后,则无论虚实,干疥服用消风散,湿疥服用苍术膏,虫疥服用芦荟丸,砂疥服用犀角饮子,脓窠疥服用秦艽丸,经久不愈且血燥者,服用当归饮子。外治法:干疥者,擦涂绣毯丸;湿疥者,擦涂臭灵丹,润燥杀虫均有效。疥疮生在身体上部多的,偏向风热盛;生在身体下部多的,偏向风湿盛。肥胖人多患风湿,消瘦人多患血热,需详细辨别治疗。

[Prescription Verse] "Ku Jin Jian" (Withered Tendon Arrow) arises from the Liver failing to nourish, with tendon Qi manifesting externally in the shape of a red bean; when the tendon head breaks through like a flower stamen, tying it off or moxibustion will succeed.
[Note] This condition is also known as a wart (Verruca vulgaris), caused by Liver blood deficiency failing to nourish, leading to the external manifestation of tendon Qi. Initially, it appears the size of a red bean; as it dries, it becomes slightly shriveled. After a long time, it cracks open, and a tendon-like head protrudes, appearing fluffy and dry, resembling a flower stamen. It commonly grows on the hands, feet, chest, and breasts. For those with a fine pedicle, it is appropriate to tie tightly with medicinal thread (a corrosive thin cord) at the base; after seven days, the lesion will fall off naturally. Sprinkle Yuebai Zhenzhu San (Pearl White Powder) upon it to promote scar contraction and healing. For those with a thick pedicle and small top, place a copper coin over the wart, use grass paper core instead of moxa, and perform three moxa cones (Zhuang); the lesion will dry and fall off. If the wart is large, wet the grass paper, place it over the wart, and apply moxibustion.

[Prescription Verse] Scabies presents as dry, damp, insect, sand, or pustular types; toxins accumulate in various meridians, transforming into wind. Treatment distinguishes between upper/lower body locations and fat/thin constitutions, employing methods to clear wind, drain dampness, and kill parasites.
[Note] This disease category includes five types: dry scabies, damp scabies, insect scabies, sand scabies, and pustular scabies. Although there are five morphological variations, they all originate from toxin accumulation in the meridians, which generates fire over time, combined with wind-dampness, resulting in this ailment, which may also be contagious. Scabies typically begins in the finger webs and spreads throughout the body, causing intense itching. If Lung meridian dryness is predominant, dry scabies occurs, characterized by dry, itchy skin with white scales. If Spleen meridian dampness is predominant, damp scabies occurs, presenting with swelling and pain, oozing yellow fluid upon rupture, and potentially black fluid in severe cases. If Liver meridian wind is predominant, insect scabies occurs, with itching penetrating to the bone, where scratching does not relieve pain. If Heart blood stagnates, sand scabies occurs, appearing like fine sand grains, with redness, itching, and pain, exuding water when scratched. If Kidney meridian damp-heat is present, pustular scabies occurs, with lesions the size of bean grains, accompanied by difficult urination/bowel movements and itching, discharging clear, pale pus. Alternatively, Spleen dampness can also cause pustular scabies, but the distinguishing feature is thick pus in the top, with both itching and pain. Although scabies is generally a superficial excess condition, individuals with weak constitutions may also suffer from it; constipation indicates excess, while loose stools indicate deficiency. There are also cases of deficiency leading to dry stool, such as wind constipation causing dry stool, or dry blood constitution causing涩 (obstructed/difficult) stool. Differentiation is further made based on the depth and lightness of the lesion's color, and the strength or weakness of the pulse. In early stages for patients with excess conditions, Fangfeng Tongsheng San (Saposhnikovia and Sage Decoction) should be taken; for deficiency, Jingfang Baidu San (Schizonepeta and Saposhnikovia Decoction) is used to vent the pathogen. Once the condition stabilizes, regardless of excess or deficiency, dry scabies is treated with Xiaofeng San (Wind-Expelling Powder), damp scabies with Cangzhu Gao (Atractylodes Ointment), insect scabies with Lushui Wan (Aloe Pill), sand scabies with Xijiao Yinzi (Rhinoceros Horn Drink), and pustular scabies with Qinjiao Wan (Gentiana Pill). For chronic cases not healing due to blood dryness, Danggui Yinzi (Angelica Decoction) is prescribed. External treatment: for dry scabies, apply Xiutan Wan (Embroidery Carpet Pill); for damp scabies, apply Chouling Dan (Stinky Spirit Elixir), both effective for moisturizing, drying, and killing parasites. Scabies predominantly on the upper body suggests wind-heat excess; predominantly on the lower body suggests wind-damp excess. Obese individuals tend toward wind-damp, while thin individuals tend toward blood-heat; these must be carefully differentiated and treated.
