又方：内疏黄连汤（见肿疡门）
【方歌】串疽生长在背部和胁肋之间，连续发作且颜色保持不变，肿胀弥漫、逐渐变红并伴有剧烈疼痛，其病因是积郁的愤怒与内火。
【注】此病证发生在背部与胁肋之间，起初只在一个部位发作，随后依次在二、三处出现，虽然形态各异，但颜色依然相同。溃破后往往相互串通，因此又被称为“老鼠钻”，或称为“游走血脾痈”。初起时肿胀弥漫且无脓头，皮肤颜色正常，随后逐渐肿胀并透出红色，疼痛多牵引至旁边部位，这是由于积郁的愤怒和内火所致。初期宜服用仙方活命饮，以宣散和解郁结之毒。其次的内治和外治方法，均按照痈疽肿疡、溃疡章节中的规定进行。
方剂：仙方活命饮（见肿疡门）
【方歌】酒毒引发的病症遍布整个背部，皮肤颜色没有变化，肿块累累如同弹丸或拳头大小，质地坚硬如石，时而麻木，疼痛深入内脏，这是由于饮酒药酒及食用厚味食物导致的。
【注】此病证生于脊背，皮肤颜色不变，肿块累累如弹丸或拳头，坚硬如石头，时而麻木，疼痛彻入五脏六腑，大小便涩滞不畅，全身拘急不舒，数日后头面手足出现虚肿，腹泻类似痢疾。总归是由于过度饮用药酒，再加上厚味食物积聚毒素所致。初起时适宜服用连翘消毒饮，随后服用内疏黄连汤。此病证若能消散或溃破，必须迅速治疗为顺；若拖延日久，既不消散也不溃破，必然导致筋骨腐烂，即成为逆证。其余内外治法，均按照痈疽肿疡、溃疡章节中的规定进行。

另一方：内疏黄连汤（见肿疡门）
[Prescription Verse] Chuan Ju (Stringed Carbuncle) arises between the back and hypochondrium, recurring successively with unchanged color; diffuse swelling gradually turns red accompanied by severe pain, its origin lies in accumulated resentment and stagnant fire.
[Annotation] This condition arises between the back and hypochondrium. Initially appearing in one location, it subsequently emerges sequentially in two or three places. Although the morphology differs, the color remains consistent. After ulceration, lesions often communicate with each other, hence also known as "Rat Burrowing" or "Wandering Blood Spleen Carbuncle." In the early stage, there is diffuse swelling without a head, skin color is normal, but swelling gradually increases and reveals a reddish hue. Pain often radiates to adjacent areas. The etiology is attributed to accumulated resentment and internal fire. Initially, Xian Fang Huo Ming Yin (Immortal Life Elixir Decoction) should be administered to disperse and resolve toxic stagnation. Subsequent internal and external treatments follow the protocols outlined in the sections on Carbuncles and Ulcers (Swelling Stage and Ulceration Stage).
Formula: Xian Fang Huo Ming Yin (See Section on Swelling Stage of Carbuncles and Ulcers)
[Prescription Verse] Alcohol-toxin eruptions cover the entire back; skin color remains unchanged, with lumps resembling bullets or fists, hard as stone, intermittent numbness, and pain penetrating the interior organs. This results from the consumption of medicinal wines and rich, greasy foods.
[Annotation] This condition arises on the spine. Skin color is unchanged, with lumps numerous like bullets or fists, hard as stone, accompanied by intermittent numbness and pain penetrating the five zang organs. Urination and defecation are obstructed and difficult. The whole body feels stiff and cramped. Several days later, the face, head, hands, and feet exhibit pitting edema, and diarrhea resembles dysentery. The root cause is excessive consumption of medicinal wines combined with toxin accumulation from rich foods. In the initial stage, Lian Qiao Xiao Du Yin (Forsythia Detoxification Decoction) is appropriate, followed by Nei Shu Huang Lian Tang (Internal Purging Coptis Decoction). If the condition resolves or suppurates, prompt treatment is favorable for recovery. If delayed for a long time without resolving or suppurating, it will inevitably lead to rotting of muscles and bones, becoming an adverse prognosis. Other internal and external treatments follow the protocols in the sections on Carbuncles and Ulcers (Swelling Stage and Ulceration Stage).
