Furuncle, which Chinese medicine believes is caused by heat toxin invading the skin, belongs to heat syndrome of sores and ulcers, so it is also called "heat furuncle". Furuncle as small as nails and with heavy reaction is called furuncle. Furuncle is more common in head, face, neck, back and buttocks. Boils are mainly found on the face, fingers and toes. Although the boil is small, its prevention and treatment can not be ignored.

First of all, we should pay attention to the cleanliness of the skin, otherwise staphylococci will invade hair follicles, sebaceous glands and subcutaneous tissues and fester and get sick.

Usually, 6g of Flos Chrysanthemi Indici 12g, Flos Lonicerae, Herba Taraxaci, mung bean coat and Radix Glycyrrhizae is used instead of tea, which is also helpful to prevent boils. You can also take a small amount of Liushen Pills.

Once boils appear, it is advisable to treat them both internally and externally. An oral Chinese medicine for clearing away heat and toxic materials can be prepared by decocting Flos Lonicerae, Fructus Forsythiae, Herba Violae, Herba Taraxaci, Flos Chrysanthemi Indici and Herba Portulacae with water. For external application of traditional Chinese medicine for clearing away heat and toxic materials, 60g of fresh purslane, 60g of dandelion, 60g of patrinia herb or 60g of tender leaves of hibiscus flowers are mashed and applied to the affected area, and the dressing is changed 2-4 times a day, which has a good effect on the ulcer that has not yet festered. Those who have suppurated must let the boils mature and fester, and the pus will flow out to gradually heal.
