《圣惠》∶夫小儿热疮者,是诸阳气在表。阳气盛则表热,小儿解脱腠理开,则为风邪所客,风热相搏,留
于皮肤则生疮。初作瘭浆黄汁出,风多则痒,热多则痛,血气乘之则多脓血,故名热疮也。

《圣惠方》记载:所谓小儿热疮,是由于诸阳之气郁结在体表。阳气旺盛则体表发热,小儿肌肤腠理疏松,风邪乘虚侵入,风与热相互搏结,滞留于皮肤之间,从而生成疮疡。初起时出现脓疱,流出黄色汁液,风邪偏盛则瘙痒,热邪偏盛则疼痛,若气血受邪气侵扰则产生大量脓血,因此称为热疮。
《千金方》治疗小儿热疮的水银膏方:
水银、胡粉、松脂(各三分)
以上三味药,用四升猪油煎煮松脂,待水分完全蒸发后,加入另外两味药,搅拌使其均匀,直到看不见水银颗粒为止,然后外敷患处。
陈藏器治疗小儿赤白游疹及火焱状热疮的方法:

刘禹锡《传信方》中的乱发鸡子膏,主治儿童热疮。
取鸡蛋五枚,去掉蛋白只留蛋黄,再取一团如鸡蛋大小的乱发。将这两味药混合放入铁锅中,用炭火熬制。开始很干燥,过了一会儿就会烧焦,随即有液体渗出,随时收集液体放入一个瓷碗中,直到液体全部提取完毕。将此液涂抹在热疮上,随后撒上苦参粉末。过去我在武陵生孩子坐月子期间身上长了热疮,因为阅读本草书籍看到关于头发的记载。《神农本草经》说:头发与鸡蛋黄一起煎煮,能化为水,用于治疗小儿惊风发热和下痢。注释中说:民间老妇人给小儿制作“鸡子煎”,是用头发混杂在一起熬制,很久才能取得汁液,给小儿服用,可以去除痰热,主治各种疾病。使用的头发都要选取长期梳头留下的散乱头发。

*Shenghui Fang* records: The so-called pediatric heat sores (Re Chuang) are caused by the accumulation of Yang Qi on the exterior. When Yang Qi is abundant, the exterior becomes hot. Due to the loose texture of children's skin and open pores (Cou Li), wind pathogens invade easily. Wind and heat contend with each other, remaining in the skin, thereby generating sores. Initially, pustules appear with yellow exudate; if wind predominates, there is itching; if heat predominates, there is pain. If blood and Qi are affected by the pathogen, excessive pus and blood are produced, hence the name "heat sore."
*Qianjin Fang* formula for Shuiyin Gao (Mercury Ointment) to treat pediatric heat sores:
Mercury (Shuiyin), Lead Carbonate (Hufen), Pine Resin (Songzhi) (each 3 fen).
The above three ingredients are processed by boiling Pine Resin in 4 sheng of lard until all moisture evaporates. Then add the other two ingredients, stir until uniform, until no visible mercury particles remain, and apply externally.
Chen Cangqi's method for treating pediatric erysipelas-like rashes (Chi Bai You Zhen) and flame-like heat sores:
Crush *Hydrocharis dubia* (Ma Zao), squeeze out the juice, and administer orally. It removes sudden heat and heat-type dysentery, and relieves thirst. (*Hydrocharis dubia* grows on water surfaces, resembling linked horse teeth.)
Liu Yuxi's *Chuanxin Fang* formula for Luanfa Jizi Gao (Ragged Hair Egg Yolk Ointment), primarily for childhood heat sores.
Take five eggs, separate the yolks from the whites. Take a clump of ragged hair roughly the size of an egg yolk. Mix these two ingredients in an iron pot and simmer over charcoal fire. Initially dry, it will soon scorch, releasing liquid. Collect the liquid into a porcelain bowl until extraction is complete. Apply this liquid to the heat sores, then dust with powder of *Sophora flavescens* (Kushen). Previously, while confined to bed after childbirth in Wuling, I developed heat sores. Reading herbal texts regarding hair, I found that the *Shennong Bencao Jing* states: Cooking hair with egg yolk transforms it into water, treating pediatric convulsive fever and dysentery. Annotations mention that folk midwives prepare "Egg Yolk Decoction" for children by simmering hair for a long time to extract juice, which clears phlegm-heat and treats various ailments. The hair used should be loose strands from long-term combing.
*Shenghui Fang* formula for Huangqin San (Scutellaria Powder) to treat heat sores on the body.
*Scutellaria baicalensis* (Huangqin) (3 fen), Gypsum (Shigao), Bupleurum (Chaihu) (remove seedlings), Sichuan Rhubarb (Chuan Dahuang) (crushed, fried), Cimicifuga (Chuan Shengma) (each 1 liang), Licorice (Gancao) (roasted until slightly red, crushed), Scrophularia (Yuanshen) (each 0.5 liang).
Pulverize the above herbs and sieve coarsely to make a powder. Take 1 qian per dose, decoct in one small cup of water until reduced to half a cup, filter, and let cool to warm. Adjust dosage according to the child's age and condition.
*Shenghui Fang* formula for Zhike San (Citrus Aurantium Powder) to treat heat sores on the body accompanied by mental restlessness and skin pain.
Bitter Orange (Zhike) (bran-fried until slightly yellow, remove pith), Licorice (Gancao) (roasted, crushed), Coptis (Huanglian) (remove roots, each 0.5 liang).
Pulverize the above herbs and sieve finely to make a powder. Take half a qian per dose, mixed with honey water, adjusting dosage according to the child's condition.
*Shenghui Fang* formula for Zhizi Gao (Gardenia Ointment) to treat pediatric heat-toxin sores.
Gardenia Fruit (Zhizi Ren), Cimicifuga (Chuan Shengma), *Patrinia villosa* (She Xian), *Scutellaria baicalensis* (Huangqin) (each 1 liang), Rhinoceros Horn (Xijiao) (shaved, 3 fen), Isatis Leaf (Lanye) (chopped, 5 he), Rehmannia Root (Sheng Dihuang) (2 liang).
Finely chop the above herbs and simmer with 1.5 jin of lard in a pan over low heat for about ten boils. Filter out the dregs to form the ointment. Store in a porcelain box and apply via old cloth patches.
*Shenghui Fang* formula for Huangqin Gao (Scutellaria Ointment) to treat pediatric heat sores with yellow purulent discharge.
*Scutellaria baicalensis* (Huangqin) (1.5 liang), Mercury (Shuiyin) (mixed with a little water and Lead Carbonate/Hufen, ground until mercury stars disappear), Sichuan Rhubarb (Chuan Dahuang) (each 1 liang), Phellodendron (Huangbai), Gardenia Fruit (Zhizi Ren), Coptis (Huanglian) (remove roots), Lead Carbonate (Hufen) (each 3 fen), Bamboo Leaves (Zhuye) (2 liang), Rehmannia Root (Sheng Dihuang) (2.5 liang).
Except for Mercury and Lead Carbonate, chop the remaining herbs into bean-sized pieces. Wrap in new cotton, place in a pan with 1.5 jin of lard, and simmer slowly for about ten boils. When the medicine turns purple, remove the cotton bag and squeeze the juice through cloth. Allow to cool and solidify, then add Mercury and Lead Carbonate. Stir uniformly with a willow stick. Store the finished ointment in a porcelain box and apply 3-4 times daily.
*Shenghui Fang*, another prescription:
Phellodendron (Huangbai), Alum (Baifan) (burned until liquid drains, each 1 liang).
Pulverize the above herbs, sieve finely, and apply to the sores three times daily.
*Shenghui Fang*, another prescription:
Coptis (Huanglian) (0.5 liang, remove roots and powder), Calomel (Nifen) (1 fen).
Grind the above ingredients uniformly, mix with vegetable juices, and apply to the sores three times daily.
*Shenghui Fang*, another prescription:
Fry Fermented Soybeans (Douchi) until dry, powder, and apply. *Yingru Shu* suggests bathing frequently with peach leaf decoction beforehand.
*Shenghui Fang*, another prescription:
Powder Dragon's Liver Earth (Fulonggan), mix with egg white, and apply.
Zhang Huan's Qingsha San (Azurite Powder) for treating heat-toxin sores on the body, head, and face.
Indigo Naturalis (Qingdai) (ground), Cinnabar (Zhusha) (finely ground, each 1 liang), Sulfur (Liuhuang) (ground), Mercury (Shuiyin) (ground with date pulp until stars disappear, each 0.5 liang), Lead Carbonate (Hufen) (ground), Adzuki Bean (Chixiaodou) (each 1 liang).
Mix and grind finely. Apply a small amount mixed with raw sesame oil and Calomel to the affected area.
*Huiyan Guanzheng* Bajiao San (Plantain Powder) for applying to reduce erysipelas and heat sores.
Calcined Aragonite (Hanshuishi) (calcined), Pearl Powder (Bangfen).
Grind into powder, mix with Plantain juice, apply, and sweep with a goose feather.
*Zhangshi Jiazhan* Heisheng Wan (Black Holy Pill) for treating large blood blister sores in children (said to be a monk's prescription):

Process each herb as specified, grind into powder, bind with good wine paste into pills the size of large paulownia seeds. Dry in shade. For coating, grind high-quality ink with added frankincense, also dry in shade. Store in a nettle fiber bag and hang in a ventilated place. This not only treats headache due to wind-stroke, poor appetite after cold damage, and large blood blister sores in children, but also reduces swelling when applied with vinegar. It also treats toothache and blood-wind disorders. Contraindicated in pregnancy.
*Zhuangshi Jiazhan* formula for treating large sores on the body:
Lead Monoxide (Huandan) (1 liang), Calomel (Nifen) (1 qianbi).
Grind uniformly, chew apricot kernels to extract juice, mix with the medicine, and apply.
*Wangshi Shouji* formula for treating persistent sores due to pediatric malnutrition-heat (by Luzhi).
Take one front trotter of a donkey, burn it below a dripping water source, grind to powder, add a little Musk (Shexiang). Apply wet, and cover with oil when dry.
*Jishi Jiazhan* for treating widespread carbuncles and boils with bright red swelling on the body or head within 120 days of birth. First use Zhenxin San, then apply swelling-reducing patches (formula see Emergency Convulsion section, same as Ji Shi's formula).
Use Castor Seeds (Bimazi) as needed, remove shells, crush into paste, and apply to the swollen area to resolve internally. If hardened red swelling forms, application will cause rupture.
An Shi's transmitted formula for pediatric heat-toxin sores:
Native Sulfur (Sheng Liuhuang) (1 qian), Betel Nut (Binglang) (1 liang).
Grind together into fine powder, mix with oil and apply for immediate effect. Before applying medication, first mash and apply young loofah sponge overnight, then apply the next day.
