patterns and combinations
after assessing the person and palpating, consider these patterns:

if induced by patient picking, dress with herbs to promote healing
stop eating foods which create turbidity and provoke hypersensitivity reactions as they often inhibit blood flow to hands
see also "anxiety" if that is an etiologic factor
