有人头上生疮，好而复发，名千层疮，不能断根。后用鲜橄榄核烧灰和鸡蛋油（制鸡蛋
油法见痈毒诸方）搽之，永不复发。各项疮毒时愈时发者，或亦可治。
又，有人两足生疮，冬月则愈，夏月则发，臭烂疼痛，久不断根。一道人云是蛇毒，用
活虾蟆捣烂敷之，日换三次，后见一小蛇在疮中取出而愈。
又，生疮出水，好而复发，不能收口，恐是蚁毒，照痈毒诸症门蚂蚁毒方治之。
又，疮形如蜂窝者，亦时愈时发，照痈毒诸症门蜂窝疮治之。
此名疮鼓，由患疮疥熏罨之后其毒归腹而成，宜戒沐浴。用白僵蚕、红枣各四五钱，先
用水煮枣一二滚，取枣汤将僵蚕洗净，将枣去皮核捣烂取净肉二两，以僵蚕晒干为末二两，
共捣为丸，仍用红枣汤送服，服完全愈。倘鼓胀危急不及待药与服，用大活蟹四五只（约重
斤余），蒸食饮酒，盖暖睡下，半日后、身上发疮更甚，而鼓全消。然后将疮治愈。夫疮鼓
死症也，疮可易愈也。
又方∶鼓胀如不能愈，照卷五鼓胀门内虾蟆巴豆方及病后浮肿虾蟆方治之，必效。
先用豆腐渣绞干水敷患处，拔净脓水后，再用此药贴之。甘石六两 ，赤石脂三两 ，
白蜡二两、黄蜡二两、黄丹二两五分、扫盆二钱五分，枯矾一钱五分，上四六冰片五分，共
研细末，瓷瓶贮存，黄蜡封固。凡有疮毒溃烂，日久不收口者，或常出脓流水，量疮口之大
小，酌用公猪生板油些微捶药，用油纸摊贴患处。先煎陈茶、银花、薄荷、艾叶、甘草各等
分，水洗净疮口后随贴之。每日早晚各揭开看一次，即用药水洗净疮口。若揭下药，上见有
脓，轻轻刮去，将原药刮拢如疮口大，照原粘贴此药。初贴一二日换一次，后则三四日方换
药一次。倘上此药半月、二十日仍不收口，宜加珍珠五分放豆腐上煮三香久，螃蟹黄三钱和
入药内，擂和匀，照原用公猪生板油捶贴，即愈。预先煎就桃红、红花、归尾、薄荷、荆芥
、防风、虫蜕、银花、大黄、黄柏、黄芩、黄栀子、连翘、赤芍、甘草各等分水。俟 甘石

有人头上生疮，好了又复发，名叫千层疮，不能断根。后来用鲜橄榄核烧成灰，和鸡蛋油（制作鸡蛋油的方法见痈毒诸方）涂抹患处，永不复发。各种疮毒时好时发的，或许也可以治疗。
另外，有人两脚生疮，冬天痊愈，夏天发作，臭烂疼痛，长久不能断根。一位道士说是蛇毒，用活蟾蜍捣烂敷在患处，每天更换三次，后来看见一条小蛇从疮中取出而痊愈。
还有，生疮出水，好了又复发，不能收口，恐怕是蚁毒，按照痈毒诸症门蚂蚁毒方治疗。
还有，疮形像蜂窝的，也是时好时发，按照痈毒诸症门蜂窝疮治疗。
这名叫疮鼓，是因为患疮疥后熏蒸捂盖，导致毒气归聚腹部而成，应当禁止沐浴。用白僵蚕、红枣各四五钱，先用水煮枣一两次，取枣汤将僵蚕洗净，将枣去皮核捣烂取净肉二两，把僵蚕晒干研为末二两，共同捣制成丸药，仍用红枣汤送服，服完即痊愈。如果鼓胀危急来不及等待药物服用，用大活蟹四五只（约重一斤多），蒸熟食用并饮酒，盖暖被子睡下，半天后身上发出疮疹更严重，但腹部的鼓胀完全消退。然后将身上的疮治愈。疮鼓是死症，但疮是可以容易治愈的。
另一个方子：如果鼓胀不能愈，按照卷五鼓胀门内的虾蟆巴豆方及病后浮肿虾蟆方治疗，必定有效。
先用豆腐渣绞干水分敷在患处，拔净脓水后，再用此药贴敷。甘石六两，赤石脂三两，白蜡二两、黄蜡二两、黄丹二两五分、扫盆二钱五分，枯矾一钱五分，上四六冰片五分，共同研成细末，用瓷瓶贮存，用黄蜡封固。凡是有疮毒溃烂，日久不能收口的，或者经常出脓流水，根据疮口的大小，酌情用公猪生板油少许捶打药物，用油纸摊开贴在患处。先煎陈茶、银花、薄荷、艾叶、甘草各等分，用水洗净疮口后随即贴上。每天早晚各揭开看一次，即用该药水洗净疮口。如果揭下药后，上面有脓，轻轻刮去，将原药刮拢如疮口大小，照原样粘贴此药。初贴一二日换一次，之后则三四天才换药一次。如果贴上此药半月、二十日仍不能收口，宜加珍珠五分放在豆腐上煮很久，螃蟹黄三钱混入药内，擂和均匀，照原样用公猪生板油捶打贴敷，即可痊愈。预先煎好桃红、红花、归尾、薄荷、荆芥、防风、虫蜕、银花、大黄、黄柏、黄芩、黄栀子、连翘、赤芍、甘草各等分的水。等到甘石、龙骨、赤石脂三味药经过七次煅烧淬炼，将此药水淬炼七次。
A person developed sores on the head, which healed but recurred, known as "Thousand-Layer Sores" (Qiān Céng Chuāng), unable to be cured completely. Later, fresh olive pits were burnt to ash and mixed with chicken egg oil (see methods for preparing chicken egg oil in sections on carbuncles and toxins) and applied to the affected area, preventing recurrence forever. Various types of sores and toxins that heal and recur intermittently may also be treatable this way.
Additionally, a person developed sores on both feet, healing in winter and recurring in summer, with foul decay, pain, and inability to cure permanently. A Daoist priest stated it was snake toxin, and used live toads mashed into a paste applied to the site, changed three times daily. Later, a small snake was seen emerging from the sore, removed, and the patient recovered.
Furthermore, sores exuding fluid, healing but recurring, failing to close, might be ant toxin; treat according to the Ant Toxin formula in the section on Carbuncles and Toxins.
Also, sores shaped like honeycombs, which also heal and recur intermittently, should be treated according to the Honeycomb Sore protocol in the section on Carbuncles and Toxins.
This condition is named "Sore Drum" (Chuāng Gǔ), caused by toxic accumulation in the abdomen following fumigation and covering during treatment for sores and scabies. Bathing should be prohibited. Use *Bombyx Batryticatus* (White Stiff Silkworm) and red dates, each 4-5 qian. First, boil the dates in water once or twice, take the date decoction to wash the silkworms clean. Remove skin and pits from the dates, mash the flesh to obtain 2 liang of pure pulp. Dry the silkworms and grind them into powder (2 liang). Pound together to form pills, taken with the date decoction. Complete recovery occurs after finishing the course. If abdominal distension becomes critical and waiting for medication is not feasible, use 4-5 large live crabs (weighing over 1 jin), steam and eat them while drinking wine, then sleep under warm covers. After half a day, sores will erupt more severely on the body, but the abdominal drum-like swelling will completely subside. Subsequently, cure the body sores. "Sore Drum" is a fatal condition, whereas sores are easily curable.
Another prescription: If abdominal distension cannot be cured, refer to the Toad and Croton Seed formula or the Post-Illness Edema Toad formula in Volume 5 under Abdominal Distension, which will surely be effective.
First, apply dried tofu dregs squeezed dry to the affected area to draw out pus and fluid completely. Then, apply this medicine. *Calamina* (Gan Shi) 6 liang, *Lithostrotum Rubrum* (Chi Shi Zhi) 3 liang, white beeswax 2 liang, yellow beeswax 2 liang, *Minium* (Huang Dan) 2 liang 5 fen, *Saopeng* 2 fen 5, alum (Ku Fan) 1 fen 5, *Borneolum Syntheticum* (Shang Si Bing Pian) 5 fen. Grind all into fine powder, store in a porcelain jar sealed with yellow beeswax. For any ulcerated sores and toxins that fail to close after a long time, or constantly discharge pus and fluid, use a small amount of raw lard from a male pig to pound the medicine according to the size of the sore. Spread on oiled paper and apply to the lesion. Decoct equal parts of aged tea, *Flos Lonicerae Japonicae* (Yin Hua), *Mentha Haplocalyx* (Bo He), *Artemisia argyi* (Ai Ye), and *Radix Glycyrrhizae* (Gan Cao) in water. Wash the sore clean with this solution before applying. Check once morning and evening, washing the sore with the medicinal water upon uncovering. If pus is found under the dressing, gently scrape it off, reshape the original medicine to fit the sore size, and reapply. Change the dressing every 1-2 days initially, then every 3-4 days later. If the sore fails to close after 15-20 days of application, add 5 fen pearl boiled for a long time in tofu, and 3 qian crab roe, mix thoroughly, pound with raw male pig lard, and apply as before; recovery will follow. Pre-decoct equal parts of peach kernel, *Flos Carthami Tinctorii* (Hong Hua), *Radix Angelicae Sinensis Cauda* (Gui Wei), *Mentha Haplocalyx*, *Schizonepeta* (Jing Jie), *Saposhnikovia Root* (Fang Feng), cicada slough, *Flos Lonicerae Japonicae*, *Rheum Palmatum* (Da Huang), *Cortex Phellodendri Amurensis* (Huang Bai), *Cortex Scutellariae* (Huang Qin), *Fructus Gardeniae Jasminoidis* (Huang Zhi Zi), *Forsythia Fruit* (Lian Qiao), *Radix Paeoniae Rubra* (Chi Shao), and *Radix Glycyrrhizae*. Quench the calcined *Calamina*, *Draco Ossis Craniale* (Long Gu), and *Lithostrotum Rubrum* seven times in this decoction.
