The boundaries are clear, the texture is firm, or the cysts are sexy, and the tension is high. Large needle openings are often seen on the surface of the lump, which is slightly black, with white secretions overflowing and odor. Lumps grow slowly and generally have no symptoms. However, redness, swelling, heat, pain, or even abscess formation during secondary infections can heal or form fistulas after ulceration.

When an abscess has formed, it should be excised and drained to remove sebum and pus, and then use a cotton ball to dip a small amount of dandan or Qisandan or diluted Baijiangdan into the cavity, remove the cysts, and wait until the cyst wall is completely eroded. After using myobiotics to close the mouth, it is not easy to relapse after healing. ^[1]
