Abstract:
This paper summarized the experience of fire needling combined with black cloth ointment in the treatment of keloid. In terms of the pathogenesis of keloid， it is believed that "phlegm causes stasis， and then stasis accumulates into tumors" is the key； the internal obstruction of phlegm and stasis caused by insufficient endowment and invasion of external pathogens is the root of the disease， while the endogenous generation of phlegm and dampness is the branch. It is therefore proposed to explore the etiology and pathogenesis of keloid from the perspective of "phlegm-stasis-tumor"， and the treatment principle is mainly to eliminate phlegm， dispel stasis and dissolve tumors， supplemented with heat-clearing and toxin-resolving. Treatment methods include oral administration of Chinese herbal medicinals and external treatment. Self-made formula for keloid is taken orally， with the main functions of dissolving phlegm， dispelling stasis and clearing heat， to finally dissolve the tumors. For external treatment， fire needling is used to pierce the skin and to open the striae and interstices， and force out the toxin pathogens such as phlegm-heat and stasis-heat with fire power， thereby clearing heat， dissolving phlegm， dispelling stasis and resolving toxins. Black cloth ointment can be used to the affected area to unblock meridians and collaterals， clear heat-toxin and dissolve phlegm-stasis， thereby softening hardness and dissipating masses.
