bubble_chart Indications
Cat eye-like sore (erythema multiforme) is caused by prolonged stagnation of dampness-heat in the spleen meridian, compounded by the congealing effect of external cold. It often appears on the face and all over the body, initially resembling a cat's eye, with a shimmering appearance, no pus or blood, and varying degrees of pain and itching.
