（附论）
人的肌肉和皮肤，依靠血气的温煦和滋养。痈肿经久不愈，是因为热毒尚未清除干净，风冷之邪趁机侵袭，客居在疮口之中，肌肉得不到温养，所以肿胀结聚不能消散，时好时发，这叫做久痈。如果不治疗，就会变成瘘管。

Human muscles and skin rely on Qi and Blood for warming and nourishment. When a carbuncle (Yong, 痈) persists without healing, it is because the heat-toxin has not been fully cleared. Wind-cold pathogens take advantage of this weakness to invade and lodge in the wound aperture. The muscles fail to receive warmth, resulting in swelling and induration that do not dissipate. The condition fluctuates between remission and exacerbation, a syndrome termed "Chronic Carbuncle" (Jiu Yong, 久痈). If left untreated, it may transform into a fistula (Lou, 瘘).
