Can you decode these hastily-written Chinese characters? Here's a picture.

I'm told that this refers to a skin condition. Any advice would be helpful!

Best answer: I think that this says bing du which means virus.

In Japanese, 病毒 means something akin to "contagion" or "source of illness". Use of this word for "virus" is rare in Japanese; ウイルス is much more common.

Echoing the above. Colloquial referral to virus or other illness-causing contagion. (They usually write 細菌 for bacteria though, in case you're wondering.)
