经云∶膏粱之变，足生大疔。疔疮火毒也，由恣食浓味，及感四时疫疠之气而生，其疮生头面四肢为多。
初起麻木，形如粟米，或黄头小 ，或寒热痒痛，四肢沉重。其毒重，其头坚，其根深，旦发夕死，初宜服
夺命汤。外须拔去疔根，而后可生。用细瓷锋砭破疔头，挤去恶血，用拔疔至宝丹涂贴疮上，或针挑小孔。
用立马回疔丹插入孔内，外以膏盖，追出疔根。然明疔易治，暗疔难疗。如生耳鼻内，及腋际隐处。迟延失治，
毒必走黄，切忌风燥辛热等剂。如辛、芷、椒、姜之类。盖诸疮毒宜散，疔疮毒宜聚，聚则毒在原处，拔其
根自愈。若见患者怯寒，误用风燥，岂知疔由火毒，热极生冷，风燥助火，逼毒内攻矣。初觉即宜早治，若
前丹一时难觅，急用蜗牛捣烂敷之，或用家菊根捣敷之。
内用菊花叶五钱，紫花地丁三钱，生甘草一钱，煎服。或用梅花点舌丹，或用蟾酥丸，一二服，俱用菊根汁和
热酒送下。汗出为度。《种福堂方》云∶治疔用家园菊花捣烂，取汁一碗，服下即愈。如无花叶、根捣汁服亦
可。有此方，诸方皆废。古云∶疔疮先刺血，内毒宜汗泄，禁灸不禁针，怕绵不怕铁。初发项以上者，用铍针
刺入疔头四五分。挑断疔根，捻尽毒血，用回疔丹，或蟾酥条插入孔内，巴膏盖之。项以下者，亦可艾灸。灸
之不痛，仍须针刺出血，插蟾酥条。挑法用针干将毒顶焦皮刮开，以针刺入疔根，坚硬如铁者，为顺；若
针刺入绵软者，为逆。如此百无一生。挑出紫黑血，再挑至鲜血，以知痛为止，随填拨疔散，以万应膏盖。
过三时辰，即换。三四日后，疮顶干燥，以琥珀散盖，令疔根托出。换九一丹掺之，以黄连膏抹之，外以白
膏盖之，生肌敛口。若失治走黄，毒瓦斯内攻，呕恶神昏，疮必塌陷。急于走黄处，按经寻有芒刺直竖，即是疔

不宜补早，虽真虚只可平补，忌用温补。即生肌膏药，亦不宜早贴也。
《黄帝内经》说：食用肥甘厚味的食物，足以导致严重的疔疮。疔疮是火毒所致，由恣意食用浓烈滋腻的食物，以及感受四季疫疠之气而产生，这种疮多生于头面及四肢。
初起时感觉麻木，形状像粟米，或者头部呈黄色、较小，伴有寒热、瘙痒或疼痛，四肢沉重。其毒性重，疮头坚硬，根基深，早晨发作晚上即可致死，初期适宜服用夺命汤。外部必须拔除疔根，之后才能愈合。用细瓷锋砭石刺破疔头，挤出恶血，用拔疔至宝丹涂贴疮上，或用针挑出小孔。用立马回疔丹插入孔内，外部用膏药覆盖，追出疔根。然而明疔容易治疗，暗疔难以疗愈。如生在耳、鼻内部，以及腋下隐蔽处。拖延延误失去治疗时机，毒气必然走黄（毒邪内陷攻心），切忌使用风燥、辛热等药剂。如辛夷、白芷、花椒、生姜之类。因为各种疮毒宜于发散，而疔疮之毒宜于聚拢，聚拢则毒在原处，拔除其根自然痊愈。如果见到患者怯寒，误用风燥药，岂不知疔由火毒引起，热极生冷，风燥助长火势，逼迫毒气内攻罢了。初觉不适即应早治，如果前文提到的丹药一时难找，急用蜗牛捣烂敷之，或用家菊根捣烂敷之。
内服菊花叶五钱，紫花地丁三钱，生甘草一钱，煎服。或用梅花点舌丹，或用蟾酥丸，一二服，均用菊根汁和热酒送下。以出汗为度。《种福堂方》说：治疔用家园菊花捣烂，取汁一碗，服下即愈。如无花叶、根，捣汁服也可以。有此方，其他方剂皆可废弃。古语说：疔疮先刺血，内毒宜汗泄，禁灸不禁针，怕绵不怕铁。初发在项部以上者，用铍针刺入疔头四五分。挑断疔根，捻尽毒血，用回疔丹，或蟾酥条插入孔内，巴膏覆盖。项部以下者，也可艾灸。灸之不痛，仍须针刺出血，插蟾酥条。挑法用针干将毒顶焦皮刮开，以针刺入疔根，坚硬如铁者，为顺证；若针刺入感觉绵软者，为逆证。如此百无一生。挑出紫黑血，再挑至鲜血，以感到疼痛为止，随即填拨疔散，以万应膏覆盖。过三个时辰，即更换。三四日后，疮顶干燥，以琥珀散覆盖，令疔根托出。换九一丹掺之，以黄连膏抹之，外部以白膏覆盖，生肌敛口。如果失治导致走黄，毒瓦斯内攻，呕吐恶心神志昏迷，疮必塌陷。急于在走黄处，按经络寻找有芒刺直竖之处，即是疔苗，急用铍针刺出恶血。如果漫肿闷乱，急服回疔散，顷刻间大痛，痛则允许救治，毒化为黄水，痛止命活。
〔人中疔〕生于鼻下唇上，硬肿麻痛，急用蟾酥丸研碎敷之，内服菊花地丁汤。外用菊叶捣烂敷亦可。此症属肺火。

〔鼻疔〕生于鼻孔内，鼻窍肿塞，痛引脑门，甚则唇腮浮肿，宜用蟾酥丸发汗。再用蟾酥丸研细末，吹入鼻孔中。此症属肺火。
〔舌疔〕舌上生核，强硬作痛，用针点破，搽冰硼散，内服加味二陈汤，有效。此症属心脾火。
〔耳疔〕生于耳窍暗藏处，色黑根深，形如椒目，疼如锥刺，破后流血水，以葱白汤送服蟾酥丸发汗。再以蟾酥丸，水调浓滴耳内。此症属肾火。
〔唇疔〕生于上下唇，锁口疔生口角间。初起如粟米，色紫，坚如铁，肿甚，麻痒木痛。唇疔则唇皮外翻，锁口疔则口不能开，治法照前，忌灸。上唇属脾火，下唇属胃火，口角属心脾火。
〔牙疔〕牙缝肿起一粒，形如粟米，痛连腮项。用银簪挑破出血，搽拔疔散，再以蟾酥丸徐徐含化，咽之。若烦躁口渴，宜服黄连解毒汤，即愈。此症属胃火。或者是大肠湿热。
〔红丝疔〕生于手臂足胫，起紫黑色，上发红丝一缕。急从红丝起止两头，用针挑断，血出而愈。或从疔起处，用蟾酥条插入，万应膏覆盖，随服黄连解毒汤。不刺断，毒入肠胃不救。《种福堂方》说：针刺红丝歧出之处，挤出恶血，再以浮萍根，嚼细敷之，立愈。
〔手掌疔〕生于手掌，坚硬黄色，如钉。用磁石、煤炭、荔枝肉不拘分两，同捣匀，敷上痛止，一宿愈。治疔通用。

《医宗金鉴》说：火焰疔多生唇口，及手掌指节间，发红黄色，痛痒麻木，寒热交作，属心经火毒。紫燕疔多生手足腰肋筋骨间，初发紫色，次流血水，三日后串筋烂骨，属肝经火毒。黄鼓疔多生口角腮颧眼胞，黄光亮，四畔红晕，呕哕麻痛，属脾经火毒。白刃疔多生鼻孔两手，白色顶硬根突，易腐易陷，属肺经火毒。黑靥疔多生耳窍牙缝，胸腹腰肾隐处，黑斑紫色，顽硬如钉，属肾经火毒，五疔应五脏而生，初服蟾酥丸，葱汤下，发汗。寒热仍作，宜五味消毒饮发汗。轻者，宜化疔内消散。毒将走黄，急服疔毒复生汤。已走黄，心烦闷愦，急用七星剑汤救之。若肢冷脉绝，毒瓦斯闭遏，先服蟾酥丸，随服木香流气饮，其脉自见。凡疔溃后，不宜早补，虽真虚只可平补，忌用温补。即生肌膏药，亦不宜早贴也。
The *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) states: Consuming rich and greasy foods can give rise to severe ding sores (hard, deep-rooted skin infections). Ding sores are caused by fire-toxin, resulting from indulging in strong and nourishing foods, as well as contracting epidemic qi of the four seasons. These sores mostly occur on the head, face, and limbs.
In the initial stage, there is numbness, and the shape resembles millet grains, or the head is yellow and small, accompanied by aversion to cold and fever, itching, or pain, with heaviness in the four limbs. The toxicity is severe, the sore head is hard, and the root is deep; it may cause death from morning to evening. Initially, Duoming Tang (Life-Restoring Decoction) is suitable for internal use. Externally, the ding root must be extracted before healing can occur. Use a fine porcelain bian stone (stone lancet) to pierce the ding head, squeeze out foul blood, apply Bading Zhibao Dan (Extraction Ding Supreme Treasure Pill) to the sore, or puncture a small hole with a needle. Insert Lima Huiding Dan (Immediate Return Ding Pill) into the hole, cover externally with an ointment to draw out the ding root. However, ming ding (visible ding) is easy to treat, while an ding (hidden ding) is difficult to heal. Examples include those growing inside the ears and nose, or in hidden areas like the axilla. If treatment is delayed, the toxin will inevitably "walk yellow" (spread internally to attack the heart). It is strictly forbidden to use wind-drying and acrid-hot preparations, such as Xinyi (Magnolia Flower), Baizhi (Angelica Root), Huajiao (Sichuan Pepper), and Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger). This is because toxins from various sores should be dispersed, whereas the toxin of ding sores should be gathered; if gathered, the toxin remains at the original site, and removing its root leads to self-healing. If one observes the patient fearing cold and mistakenly uses wind-drying agents, how could one know that ding arises from fire-toxin? Extreme heat generates cold conditions; wind-drying aids fire, forcing the toxin inward. Early treatment is essential upon the first sign. If the aforementioned pills are hard to find urgently, crush fresh snails and apply them topically, or crush Jiajugeng (Home Chrysanthemum Root) and apply it.
Internally, decoct 5 qian of Juhua Ye (Chrysanthemum Leaf), 3 qian of Zihua Diding (Viola Yedoensis), and 1 qian of Sheng Gancao (Raw Licorice Root), and take orally. Alternatively, use Meihua Dianshe Dan (Plum Blossom Point-Tongue Pill) or Chansu Wan (Toad Venom Pill), taken once or twice, washed down with juice from chrysanthemum root mixed with hot wine. The goal is to induce sweating. The *Zhongfutang Fang* (Prescriptions from Zhongfu Hall) states: To treat ding, crush garden chrysanthemums, extract one bowl of juice, and drink it for immediate cure. If flowers, leaves, or roots are unavailable, crushing them for juice is also acceptable. With this prescription, other formulas can be discarded. Ancient saying: For ding sores, first prick to bleed; internal toxins should be released via sweating. Moxibustion is prohibited, but acupuncture is allowed; cotton is feared, but iron is not. For initial outbreaks above the neck, use a bipin needle (scalpel-like needle) to penetrate the ding head 4-5 fen deep. Sever the ding root, roll out all toxic blood, insert Huiding Dan (Return Ding Pill) or Chansu strip (Toad Venom Strip) into the hole, and cover with Bagao (Ba Ointment). For outbreaks below the neck, moxibustion is also permissible. If moxibustion causes no pain, acupuncture to bleed and insertion of Chansu strips are still required. For the picking method, use a dry needle handle to scrape away the scorched skin on the toxic peak, then insert the needle into the ding root. If it feels hard as iron, it is a favorable sign (Shun); if it feels soft as cotton, it is an unfavorable sign (Ni). In such cases, survival is rare. Pick until purple-black blood flows, then continue until bright red blood appears and pain is felt. Immediately fill with Botiao San (Pull-Dissolve Powder) and cover with Wanying Gao (Universal Ointment). Change after three shichen (6 hours). After 3-4 days, when the sore top dries, cover with Hupo San (Amber Powder) to push the ding root out. Apply Jiuyi Dan (Nine-to-One Pill), smear with Huanglian Gao (Coptis Ointment), and cover externally with Baigao (White Ointment) to generate flesh and close the wound. If missed treatment leads to "walking yellow," with internal attack of toxic vapors, vomiting, nausea, and coma, the sore will collapse. Urgently locate the "ding seedling" (a vertical thorn-like projection) along the meridian at the site of walking yellow, and immediately use a bipin needle to extract foul blood. If there is diffuse swelling and confusion, urgently take Huiding San (Return Ding Powder). Severe pain will follow instantly; pain indicates rescue is possible. When the toxin transforms into yellow fluid and pain stops, life is saved.
[Renying Ding] Located below the nose and above the upper lip, presenting with hard swelling, numbness, and pain. Urgently crush Chansu Wan (Toad Venom Pill) and apply topically; internally take Juhua Diding Tang (Chrysanthemum and Viola Decoction). Topical application of crushed Juye (Chrysanthemum Leaf) is also effective. This condition belongs to Lung Fire.
[Quan Ding] Occurs between the zygomatic bones, presenting as small lumps like millet or adzuki beans, with a concave, hard top and a钉-head-like sensation upon pressure, accompanied by numbness, itching, and dull pain. Use Chansu Wan or Mailing Dan (Wheat Spirit Pill) to induce sweating. Subsequently, take Huanglian Xiaodu Yin (Coptis Detoxification Drink) to clear heat. External treatment follows previous methods. This condition belongs to Stomach Fire.
[Bi Ding] Occurs inside the nostrils, causing nasal obstruction and pain radiating to the forehead, potentially leading to swollen lips and cheeks. Use Chansu Wan to induce sweating. Further, grind Chansu Wan into fine powder and insufflate it into the nostrils. This condition belongs to Lung Fire.
[She Ding] A nodule forms on the tongue, becoming stiff and painful. Puncture with a needle, apply Bingpeng San (Ice and Borax Powder), and internally take Jiawei Erchen Tang (Modified Two-Aged Decoction) for efficacy. This condition belongs to Heart and Spleen Fire.
[Er Ding] Occurs in hidden areas of the ear canal, with black color, deep roots, and shape resembling pepper seeds. Pain is like awl piercing. Upon rupture, blood and water flow. Send Chansu Wan down with Congbai Tang (Scallion White Decoction) to induce sweating. Then, mix Chansu Wan with water to a thick consistency and drip into the ear. This condition belongs to Kidney Fire.
[Chun Ding] Occurs on the upper and lower lips. Suokou Ding (Lock-Mouth Ding) occurs at the corners of the mouth. Initially resembling millet, purple in color, hard as iron, with severe swelling, numbness, itching, and dull pain. Chun Ding causes lip skin to evert; Suokou Ding prevents mouth opening. Treatment follows previous methods; moxibustion is contraindicated. Upper lip relates to Spleen Fire, lower lip to Stomach Fire, and mouth corners to Heart and Spleen Fire.
[Ya Ding] A grain swells in the gum crevice, shaped like millet, with pain radiating to the cheek and neck. Break the skin with a silver hairpin to bleed, apply Badingsan (Extract Ding Powder), and slowly dissolve Chansu Wan in the mouth, swallowing the saliva. If irritability and thirst occur, take Huanglian Jiedu Tang (Coptis Clearing-Toxin Decoction) for cure. This condition belongs to Stomach Fire, or possibly Large Intestine Damp-Heat.
[Hongsid Ding] Occurs on arms and legs, starting as purple-black with a red thread extending upwards. Urgently prick both ends of the red thread with a needle to sever it; bleeding indicates cure. Alternatively, insert a Chansu strip at the origin of the ding and cover with Wanying Gao, while taking Huanglian Jiedu Tang. If not severed, the toxin enters the stomach and intestines, leading to untreatable conditions. The *Zhongfutang Fang* states: Prick the branching point of the red thread, squeeze out foul blood, then chew Fupinggen (Duckweed Root) finely and apply it for immediate cure.
[Shouzhang Ding] Occurs on the palm, hard and yellow, like a nail. Crush Cishi (Magnetite), Meitan (Coal), and Lizhirou (Lychee Meat) in unspecified proportions, mix evenly, and apply. Pain stops, and it heals overnight. This is a general treatment for ding.
[Shetou Ding] Occurs on fingers, presenting with purple discoloration and pain. Initially use Chansu Wan to induce sweating and apply Xionghuang San (Realgar Powder) externally. A simple formula named Luo Ding involves grinding Olive Pit (Ganlan He) with vinegar and applying it for gradual resolution. Those growing beside the nails are called Shayan Ding (Snake Eye Ding), resembling beans, purple, hard, and painful. Those growing behind the nail root are called Shebei Ding (Snake Back Ding), resembling dates, red, and swollen. Those on the middle phalanx with circumferential swelling are called Shejie Ding (Snake Joint Ding). Those on the front of the middle phalanx, yellow or purple, resembling fish bellies, are called Shedu Ding (Snake Belly Ding), red and painful. Initially take Chansu Wan and apply Xionghuang San externally.
[An Ding] Hard swelling without a head in the axilla, accompanied by aversion to cold, fever, stiffness, and pain. First take Mailing Dan to induce sweating.
[Nei Ding] Aversion to cold, fever, abdominal pain, and sudden swelling of a mass within a few days. Initially, jaw stiffness occurs. Administer 3-5 pills of Chansu Wan, ground in Congtang (Scallion Decoction), and force-feed. Once conscious, take 3 more pills of the same pill, chew Scallion White, and wash down with Yellow Wine. Cover with blankets to sweat; if no sweat, drink hot wine to induce it. An Ding treatment is similar, but without the picking method.
[Leng Ding] Occurs on the heel, presenting with purple-white discoloration, bone-piercing pain, deep rotting ulcers, and failure to heal for a long time. Use Shendeng Zhao Fa (Divine Lamp Illumination Method) to irradiate, apply Tiefsan San (Iron Powder Powder), and internally take Shixuan San (Ten Acupoints Powder).
[Daojian Ding] Broad like leek leaves, flesh purple-black like cauterization, over one cun long. Acupuncture is contraindicated. Crush 3 qian of Shengfan (Raw Alum) and 7 stalks of Congbai (Scallion White) together into seven pieces. Decoct Scallion White in water and swallow each piece separately. Cover with blankets to sweat. Avoid sexual intercourse, alcohol, meat, raw/cold foods, and spicy flavors.
[Yangmao Ding] Fever and chills resembling Taiyang disease, with red rashes or purple-black spots on the anterior and posterior chest/heart. Use a needle to pick out wool-like structures from the spots on the chest and back. Apply powder made from Heidou (Black Soybean) and Qiaomai (Buckwheat). Sweat immediately ensues, leading to cure. Another method: Use 2 qian of Mingxiongmo (Refined Realgar Powder), wrap in blue cloth, dip in hot distilled liquor, and rub the anterior chest until the "wool" moves to the posterior chest, then rub the back until all wool emerges for cure. Avoid tea and water for one day.
[Lantou Ding] For unruptured ding with already necrotic heads, use one bunch of Baijugeng (White Chrysanthemum Root), two Baimei (White Plum), and two large Yanyou (Ground Centipede). Crush together, add Mingxionghuang (Realgar), and apply. Replace when dry; apply several times for cure.
[Zima Ding] Ding head is purple and develops rapidly. Boil Baijiu (White Liquor), Ai Cao (Mugwort), Zihua Diding (Viola Yedoensis), and Cheqiancao (Plantain Herb) and drink for cure.
The *Yizong Jinjian* (Golden Mirror of Medicine) states: Huoyan Ding (Flame Ding) mostly occurs on lips, mouth, and finger joints, presenting with red-yellow discoloration, pain, itching, numbness, and alternating chills and fever; it belongs to Heart Meridian Fire-Toxin. Ziyan Ding (Purple Swallow Ding) mostly occurs between limbs, waist, ribs, tendons, and bones. Initially purple, followed by bloody discharge, and after three days, spreading to tendons and rotting bone; it belongs to Liver Meridian Fire-Toxin. Huanggu Ding (Yellow Drum Ding) mostly occurs at mouth corners, cheeks, zygoma, and eyelids. Yellow and shiny with red halos around, accompanied by vomiting, hiccups, numbness, and pain; it belongs to Spleen Meridian Fire-Toxin. Bairren Ding (White Blade Ding) mostly occurs in nostrils and hands. White top, hard, prominent root, prone to necrosis and sinking; it belongs to Lung Meridian Fire-Toxin. Heiyie Ding (Black Crust Ding) mostly occurs in ear canals, gum crevices, and hidden areas of chest, abdomen, waist, and kidneys. Black spots, purple discoloration, stubborn and hard as a nail; it belongs to Kidney Meridian Fire-Toxin. The five ding correspond to the five zang organs. Initially take Chansu Wan, washed down with scallion water, to induce sweating. If chills and fever persist, take Wuwei Xiaodu Yin (Five-Ingredient Detoxification Drink) to induce sweating. For mild cases, take Huading Neixiaosan (Dissolve Ding Internal Dissolving Powder). If toxin is about to walk yellow, urgently take Dingdu Fusheng Tang (Ding-Toxin Reviving Decoction). If already walked yellow, with mental restlessness and confusion, urgently use Qixingjian Tang (Seven-Star Sword Decoction) to save. If limbs are cold and pulse is absent, with toxic vapors blocked, first take Chansu Wan, followed by Muxiang Liqi Yin (Costus Qi-Circulating Drink), and the pulse will reappear. After any ding ulcerates, early tonification is inappropriate. Even in true deficiency, only mild tonification is allowed; warm tonification is forbidden. Even flesh-generating ointments should not be applied early.
