Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I have a female patient, age 76 who has a history of ingrown hair follicles on her head. Currently there are 3 hair follicles nodules on her head, various sizes. Two along the UB channel, on top of the head and the third on the GB channel in the back of the head. The patient mentioned her other siblings has the same problem. According to the patient, the Western approach is to lance the nodules and squeeze the pus out. The pus is odorous, don't know what the color is. The nodules will eventually reappear, not necessarily in the same location, but always on the head. According to the patient the Western doctor calls then wynn (a cyst containing sebaceous matter) Suggestions on how to treat this condition? I was considering surrounding the nodules, needling into the nodule. Other information: Patient is currently being treated with chemical chemo for Lung cancer. This is her 6th round of chemical chemo. The reason she is seeing me is for chemo support. She was diagnosis with Lung Cancer and Diabetes in December 2003. She quit smoking in the mid-80ties. She is in good spirits and has the usually chemo side effects - nausea, fatigue, lack of appetite. She has white distinct rails on her finger and toe nails. The fingernails are sensitive/painful to the touch. No thirst Breast bone pain after each chemo session, painful with exertion Slight headaches after each chemo session, usually last on day. No dizziness, but occasionally feels off balanced Occasional sore throat, worst with chemo Pulses are weak and deep. Tongues is slightly red, purple in the Kidney area and Yin cracks.
