Wild Fire Dan (Wild Fire Erysipelas)
This erysipelas originates from both legs, presenting with redness and swelling. The pain is like burning fire. This is due to Wind-Heat pathogen affecting the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. Internally, Xiehuang San (Yellow-Draining Powder) and Liange San (Cooling Chest Powder) should be taken with modifications based on syndrome differentiation. Externally, apply a mixture of sheep fat and powdered Ru Xiang (Frankincense) to the affected area. Apply crushed Huodan Cao (Fire Dan Herb) mixed with vinegar. Alternatively, applying Baiji powder (Bletilla Rhizome) mixed with water yields even better results.

Smoke Fire Dan (Smoke Fire Erysipelas)
This erysipelas originates from the dorsum of both feet, presenting with redness, swelling, and pain. This is caused by Wind-Heat affecting the Foot-Taiyang, Foot-Yangming, and Foot-Shaoyang meridians. In some cases, it may originate from the sole of the foot, indicating excessive Heat in the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. Internally, herbs that nourish Yin and suppress Fire should be administered. Externally, apply mud from under a pig trough mixed with sesame oil. Applying Bo San (Cypress Powder) prepared with honey is also effective. Do not neglect this condition lightly.

Hu Lou Dan (Hu Lou Erysipelas)
This erysipelas originates from the genital region, presenting with yellow or red swelling. These are all manifestations of Deficient Fire from the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian erupting externally. Internally, Danggui Longhui Wan (Angelica Sinensis and Gardenia Pill) and Xieqing San (Drain Green Powder) should be taken. Externally, apply Wulou Tu (soil washed down from eaves by rainwater) mixed with sheep fat. Applying Bo San prepared with vinegar is also excellent.

Fen Ying Liu (Starch Thyroid Tumor / Steatocystoma)
Generally, starch tumors are large and necessarily soft. Over time, they gradually enlarge. They appear to contain pus but do not actually contain pus; rather, starchy fluid accumulates inside. If left untreated, after a long period, they become very large and cause further complications. Moxibustion should be applied for more than ten moxa cones. Then, grind Xiong Huang (Realgar) with vinegar, spread it on paper, cut it into a conch shell shape, and cover it on the moxibusted area. Apply an external plaster, changing it every one to two days. Healing occurs once the contents are squeezed out.

Jin Liu Zhui (Tendon Tumor Growth)
When tendon Qi accumulates, it becomes contracted within the tumor. Over time, it gradually enlarges. Generally, the root of the tumor is thin. It can be tied with a fine thread boiled in Yuan Hua (Genkwa Flower). After a long time, it will naturally fall off. Alternatively, it can be removed with a sharp knife. Treating it according to the method for Blood Tumors is also excellent. Internally, administer tonifying agents. Externally, apply Taiyi Plaster.

Qi Liu Zhui (Qi Tumor Growth)
Generally, Qi tumor growths may enlarge over three to five days and shrink after a few more days, fluctuating with the rise and fall of Qi. There is no pain or redness, and the skin remains normal. The growth is not hard. Treatment should involve internally taking Chenxiang Huaqi Wan (Agarwood Qi-Regulating Pill) and Tangye (decoctions) that dissipate Qi. Externally, rub Zhi Qiao (Aurantium Fructus) on the area and apply moxibustion for good effect. Another prescription using Xiangfu San (Cyperi Rhizoma Powder) is also acceptable.
