About

疡 is the simplified form of 瘍, a phono-semantic compound. The radical 疒 (chuáng), meaning sickness, frames the character and signals its medical sense. The internal phonetic component, originally 昜 (yáng), is simplified in the modern form. The character denotes ulcers, sores, and similar lesions on the skin or mucous membranes, and appears most often in the clinical term 溃疡 (ulcer).
