Clinical manifestations: Red or pale-red flat warts, often numerous, with acute onset on face and back of hands; mild fever, chills, or sore throat may accompany the lesions.
Tongue: Red tip and edges with thin yellow coating. Pulse: Floating and rapid.
Treatment principle: Dispel Wind, clear Heat, resolve Toxin.
Note: no moxa. Matched on the exterior-invasion level to
Invasion of Lungs by Wind-Heat — the deck slide's own fever and sore throat directly mirror the source's "acute red warts with fever and sore throat" description.
2. Blood Stagnation with Heat
Clinical manifestations: Hard, dark-brown or purplish warts that resist treatment; lesions may feel tender or painful when pressed; dry, rough, or scaly skin around warts; irritability, restlessness.
Tongue: Reddish-purple body with stasis spots, distended sublingual veins, thin dry yellow coat. Pulse: Choppy and rapid, often wiry at left Guan.
Treatment principle: Address lingering heat toxins that have congealed with stagnant blood.
Note: no moxa. No deck on this site combines Blood stagnation with Heat in one slide (as distinct from plain Blood stasis, used below), so no pattern link is given here.
3. Damp-Heat
Clinical manifestations: Soft, gray-brown, slightly raised nodules that may ooze or feel moist; heavy, sluggish body sensation with greasy, sticky taste in mouth; poor appetite, nausea, loose sticky stools.
Tongue: Red body with yellow, greasy coating, possibly swollen with teeth marks. Pulse: Soggy-rapid or slippery-rapid.
Treatment principle: Drain dampness and clear heat to eliminate the sticky, turbid pathogen.
Note: no moxa. This picture (poor appetite, nausea, loose sticky stools) is a digestive Spleen-Stomach Damp-Heat presentation rather than the genital/Lower-Burner-specific pattern this site's Damp-Heat decks are built around, so no pattern link is forced here.
4. Blood Deficiency with External Wind
Clinical manifestations: Dry, yellowish, bean-like hard warts; itching that comes and goes or shifts location; dry, flaky, or rough skin; pale or sallow complexion; aversion to wind or drafts.
Tongue: Pale, thin body with thin white and slightly dry coating. Pulse: Fine, wiry at left middle position, floating at superficial level.
Treatment principle: Nourish Blood to restore skin moisture and seal the pathway where Wind-Heat invades.
Note: no moxa on G.B.-20. This site's
Liver-Blood deficiency slide has no Wind component, so no pattern link is given here — same absence found for Seborrheic Dermatitis, Athlete's Foot and Fungal Skin Infection.
Clinical manifestations: Dark, purplish or brown warts that are hard and fixed in place; may feel tender or painful when pressed; feeling of tightness or distension in chest or ribs; irritability or mood swings; dark complexion or purplish lips.
Tongue: Dark purple body with stasis spots, distended and dark sublingual veins. Pulse: Wiry and choppy.
Treatment principle: Invigorate Qi and Blood while dispersing stasis.
Note: no moxa. Matches
Liver-Blood stasis — dark complexion/purplish lips and a dark purple tongue with stasis spots are the same discoloration markers named there.
