Once the condition has emerged, if the child eats fried or greasy foods, consumes an excess of raw or cold fruits, or is exposed to too much summer-wind A traditional term for seasonal pathogens that combine heat and wind, often blamed for skin eruptions., these bald sores will break out on the head. Consequently, lice will breed within them, scabs will pile up high, and white flakes will fill the scalp. This condition can persist for months or even years without healing.

If bear grease original: "熊油" (Xiongyu) is used to mix and rub the formula, the results are even more miraculous.
