First, observe the size of the sore, and cut 12 square pieces of cotton paper, securing the four corners with small nails for later use. Then, place 60 grams of good sesame oil in a copper spoon and heat it over moderate or vigorous fire. First, add Sichuan pepper and fry until it turns black, then remove it. Next, add sophora twigs and fry until they turn black, then remove them as well. After that, add yellow wax, calomel, and dried alum, allowing them to dissolve completely. Then, immerse the previously prepared paper in the oil, ensuring it is thoroughly soaked without burning, and set it aside for later use. When applying the plaster to the sore, first boil sophora twigs, scallions, and Sichuan pepper in water to wash the sore thoroughly, then dry it. Apply the medicated paper plaster, cover it with an oiled paper sheet, and secure it with a soft cloth bandage. After one day, remove the plaster, peel off one layer, wash the sore again with the decoction, and reapply the plaster. After using all 12 sheets, the sore will undoubtedly heal.
