<upd_detl>人面疽 is in daijs too but is only read as じんめんそ

<upd_refs>daijs, wiki, nikk
daijs "人の顔の形をした悪性のできもの。"
nikk: "人の顔のような形になるはれもの。にんめんそう。"

た傷が化膿し、人の顔のようなものができ、話をしたり、物を食べたりするとされる架空の
病気。薬あるいは毒を食べさせると療治するとされる。"</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>According to the Japanese Wikipedia page, this kanji can be read "人面疽". Also, searching for both kanji sets yields very similar results.</upd_detl>
