For lesions that have already ruptured and are discharging pus, apply the ointment on oiled paper; if there is excessive pus, wipe it clean with silk, warm the paper slightly by the fire, and then reapply. Do not reuse it a third time; instead, prepare a new application. Once the lesion begins to heal, adjust the size of the application to fit the wound.
