(附论)
各种疮疡及痈疽,都是风湿之邪与血气相互搏结所致。血气郁结而生热,在肌肉内部形成疮疡。如果久治不愈,大多会长出恶肉。疮口四周皮肤隆起,而好肉无法生长。这是因为毒热尚未清除,经络仍然壅塞,血气不能到达的缘故。
痈疽已经溃破,但长时间良肉不生,是因为气血尚未平复,恶肉阻碍了它的生长。恶肉虽然是由于风气外袭搏结而成,但也因为余毒未尽,导致死肌败坏,侵蚀良肉。治疗适宜用药腐蚀去除它。
痈疽溃烂后出现恶肉的,先用猪蹄汤清洗去除污秽,然后敷上食肉膏散。待恶肉完全脱落后,再敷生肉膏散,并按摩疮口四周,促使好肉快速生长。此时应当断绝房事,小心避免风寒寒冷和劳累烦扰,等待筋脉平复之后,才可以恢复正常生活。如果不这样做,新肉容易受伤,一旦受伤就会再次严重溃烂发作,发作则灾祸降临,务必谨慎谨慎。

Various sores and carbuncles are caused by the struggle between wind-dampness and blood-qì. The stagnation of blood-qì generates heat, forming sores within the muscles. If not healed for a long time, "evil flesh" (necrotic tissue) often grows. The skin around the sore rises, while healthy flesh fails to regenerate. This is due to the incomplete clearance of toxic heat, the blockage of meridians, and the failure of blood-qì to reach the area.
After a carbuncle or ulcer has ruptured, if healthy flesh does not grow for a long time, it is because the blood-qì has not yet stabilized, and the evil flesh hinders its growth. Although evil flesh arises from external wind-pathogens struggling with the body, it is also due to residual toxins remaining, causing necrosis and corruption that erode healthy flesh. Treatment should involve using medication to cauterize and remove it.
For evil flesh appearing after the rupture of a carbuncle, first wash away impurities with Pig Trotter Decoction, then apply Flesh-Eating Ointment Powder. Once the evil flesh is completely removed, apply Flesh-Regenerating Ointment Powder, and massage the surrounding areas to promote rapid regeneration of healthy flesh. At this time, sexual intercourse must be strictly avoided, and one must guard against wind-cold and physical/mental fatigue. Only after the tendons and vessels have recovered can normal activities resume. Otherwise, new flesh is easily injured; once injured, severe ulceration recurs, leading to disaster. Be extremely cautious.

Paeonia Ointment: Treats carbuncle evil flesh; promotes muscle regeneration after ulcer erosion is complete.
Ingredients: *Paeoniae Radix Alba* (Shaoyao), *Rhei Radix et Rhizoma* (Dahuang), *Phellodendri Cortex* (Huangbai), *Angelicae Pubescentis Radix* (Duhuo) (deprived of rhizome head), *Angelicae Dahuricae Radix* (Baizhi), *Angelicae Sinensis Radix* (Danggui) (each 1 liang), *Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus* (Xiebai) (3 liang), *Rehmanniae Radix Recens* (Sheng Dihuang) (1.5 liang, crushed), Lard (1.5 liang).
Preparation: Chop the eight ingredients finely. First boil the lard until bubbling, then add the herbs. Simmer until *Angelicae Dahuricae Radix* turns dark red/black. Filter through cotton cloth. Take a small amount and apply to the sore three to five times daily.

It also treats carbuncles without Cinnabar. *Guangji Fang* treats carbuncle swelling with pus rupture where purple flesh remains unabsorbed; use this powder mixed internally or applied to cauterize it.
Veratri Powder: Treats carbuncles, cauterizing evil flesh.
Ingredients: *Veratri Radix* (Lulu), *Margarita* (Zhenzhu Mo) (each half liang), *Sulfur* (Liuhuang) (finely ground), *Portulacae Herba* (Machixian) (burned until juice is gone, each 3 fen), *Realgar* (Xionghuang) (3 fen, finely ground), *Moschus* (Shexiang) (1 fen, finely ground), *Veratri Radix* (Lulu) (1 liang).
Preparation: Make into a fine powder. Apply two to three times daily, taking a small amount to apply to the sore. Another method excludes Pearl.
Liu Juanzi treats carbuncles and ulcers by first applying Rhubarb Flesh-Eating Ointment. *Qianjin Fang* first uses Evil-Flesh-Eating Powder, then applies a formula with Rhubarb, Aconite, and ten other items; this is a secondary mixing ointment formula.
