申斗垣曰∶唇疔初起如粟，或不痛，或痒甚，其形甚微，其毒极深，其色或赤或
白。若唇口上下紫黑色者，根行甚急，不一日间头面肿大，三四日内即死不救。医
者于初起时，即用快刀割去此毒。唇缺亦所难顾，再从容补唇，诚为救命之快捷方式也。（《启玄》）
陈远公曰∶有唇上生疔者，或口角旁，或上下唇，不论大小，大约皆脾胃火毒也。
宜早散之，否则毒瓦斯炽炎，必且艰于饮食，往往有腐烂死者。疔毒以愈小而愈横也。治
法急泄其火毒，不可损伤脾胃之气，毒易散矣。救唇汤∶金银花一两，紫花地丁一
两，白果二十个，桔梗三钱，生甘草三钱，知母一钱，水煎服。一剂疼止，二剂疔消，
三剂痊愈。已烂者又二剂。
此方治头面疔疮亦效。此以白果、桔梗引银花、地丁至生疔之处，而尽去其毒
也。（《冰鉴》）
《心法》曰∶唇生疔毒，细看腿弯中紫黑筋，用长针刺破，血出即愈。
《折衷》云∶脾气郁则唇生疮。
冯鲁瞻曰∶有胃伤极而唇糜，壮热秽甚见痘者，名曰胃烂唇枭。十救二三。（《锦囊》）
唇疮（《准绳》）甑上滴下汗，敷之神效。
唇生疮连年不瘥（《千金》）八月蓝叶一斤，捣汁洗之。不过三日。
唇疮（《准绳》）白荷花瓣贴之神效。开裂出血者即止。
嘴唇破 石蟹磨水搽之。
又方 东壁土研细搽。
又方 轻粉敷。
又方 头垢敷。
唇疮痛痒 黄柏末用野蔷薇根取汁调涂。
申斗垣说：唇疔初起时像粟米大小，有时不痛，有时瘙痒剧烈，形状非常微小，但毒邪极深，颜色或红或白。如果嘴唇上下呈现紫黑色，根部发展迅速，不到一天时间头面部就会肿大，三四天内就会死亡且无法救治。医生在初起时，应立即用快刀割除这个毒疮。即使嘴唇因此缺损也不必顾惜，之后再从容修补嘴唇，这确实是救命的快捷方法。（出自《启玄》）
陈远公说：有在嘴唇上生疔的，有的在口角旁边，有的在上唇或下唇，不论大小，大都是脾胃的火毒所致。应当尽早消散它，否则毒气炽盛燃烧，必然导致饮食困难，往往会有腐烂死亡的案例。疔毒的特点是越小越猖獗。治疗方法是急泄火毒，但不能损伤脾胃之气，这样毒邪就容易消散。救唇汤方：金银花一两，紫花地丁一两，白果二十个，桔梗三钱，生甘草三钱，知母一钱，水煎服。服用一剂疼痛停止，两剂疔疮消退，三剂痊愈。已经溃烂的再加服两剂。
此方治疗头面部的疔疮也有效。这是利用白果、桔梗引导金银花、紫花地丁到达生疔的部位，从而彻底清除毒邪。（出自《冰鉴》）
《医宗金鉴·心法要诀》说：嘴唇生疔毒，仔细查看膝盖后方腘窝中的紫黑色筋脉，用长针刺破，血流出即愈。
《折衷》说：脾气郁结则嘴唇生疮。
冯鲁瞻说：有胃气受损极度严重而导致嘴唇糜烂，伴有高热、秽浊之气甚重并出现痘疹症状的，名叫“胃烂唇枭”。十个人中只能救活两三个。（出自《锦囊》）

Shen Douyuan stated: When a lip ding (lip carbuncle) first appears, it is the size of a millet grain. It may be painless or extremely itchy. Its form is very minute, yet its toxicity is profound, and its color may be red or white. If the upper and lower lips turn purple-black, the root spreads rapidly; within less than a day, the head and face will swell, and death will occur within three to four days with no hope of rescue. At the initial stage, physicians should immediately excise this toxic lesion with a sharp knife. Even if the lip is left defective, it need not be a concern at that moment; one can later calmly reconstruct the lip. This is indeed a rapid method for saving lives. (From *Qixuan*)
Chen Yuan Gong stated: There are cases of ding appearing on the lips, either beside the corners of the mouth or on the upper or lower lips. Regardless of size, they are generally caused by fire-toxin in the Spleen and Stomach. They should be dispersed early; otherwise, the toxic vapors will blaze fiercely, leading to difficulty in eating and drinking, and often resulting in rotting and death. The characteristic of ding-toxin is that the smaller it is, the more rampant it becomes. The treatment method is to urgently drain the fire-toxin without damaging the Qi of the Spleen and Stomach, so that the toxin will easily dissipate. Jiu Chun Tang (Rescue Lip Decoction): Jin Yin Hua (*Lonicerae Japonicae Flos*, Honeysuckle Flower) 1 liang, Zi Hua Di Ding (*Viola Yedoensis Herba*, Violet Herb) 1 liang, Bai Guo (*Ginkgonis Semen*, Ginkgo Seed) 20 pieces, Jie Geng (*Platycodonis Radix*, Balloon Flower Root) 3 qian, Sheng Gan Cao (*Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Recens*, Fresh Licorice Root) 3 qian, Zhi Mu (*Anemarrhenae Rhizoma*, Anemarrhena Rhizome) 1 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. After one dose, pain stops; after two doses, the ding subsides; after three doses, recovery is complete. For those already ulcerated, add two more doses.
This formula is also effective for treating ding and sores on the head and face. Here, Bai Guo and Jie Geng guide Jin Yin Hua and Di Ding to the site where the ding has formed, thereby completely eliminating the toxin. (From *Bingjian*)
*Xin Fa* stated: When a lip develops ding-toxin, carefully examine the purple-black veins in the popliteal fossa (behind the knee). Puncture them with a long needle; once blood flows out, the condition heals.
*Zhe Zhong* stated: When Spleen Qi is stagnant, sores appear on the lips.
Feng Luzhan stated: There are cases where extreme damage to the Stomach leads to lip erosion (mucosal breakdown), accompanied by high fever and severe foul odor, presenting with acne-like lesions. This is named "Wei Lan Chun Xiao" (Stomach Rotting Lip Owl). Only two or three out of ten patients can be saved. (From *Jinnang*)
For treating lip sores (from *Zhun Sheng*): Apply the condensation dripping from the lid of a steamer (Zeng Han) to the affected area; it is highly effective.
For treating lip sores that persist for years without healing (from *Qian Jin Fang*): Use 1 jin of Blue Leaf collected in August, crush it to extract juice, and wash the affected area. Healing occurs within no more than three days.
For treating lip sores (from *Zhun Sheng*): Apply petals of white lotus flowers; it is highly effective. It stops bleeding immediately if the skin is cracked.
For broken lips: Grind Shi Xie (Stone Crab) into water and apply externally.
Another prescription: Grind earth from the east wall finely and apply.
Another prescription: Apply Qing Fen (Calomel).
Another prescription: Apply Tou Gou (Head Filth/Scalp Scum).
For painful and itchy lip sores: Use Huang Bo (*Phellodendri Cortex*, Phellodendron Bark) powder, mixed with juice extracted from Ye Qiang Wei Gen (Wild Rose Root), and apply topically.
