The images obtained both in the initial phase of the study and at the 24 hours of treatment were transferred and stored on a 4-core Sansung computer. Image J software was used to measure the area selected for the study in both cases. This measurement was made in pixels for the photographic region under study. Aspects such as the presence of erythematous scales, inflammatory zones, hyperkeratosis, or scabs were evaluated before and after treatment.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Case 1 showed a 48.89% reduction in the affected area after 24 hours of treatment. Case 2 showed a 52.98% reduction at 24 hours of treatment. Conclusions: The keratolytic and anti-inflammatory action of salicylic acid was evident in this case report.</p&gt;}, number={4}, journal={Medico Research Chronicles}, author={Wills, Wilfredo José Molina and Rodriguez , Vanessa}, year={2020}, month={Sep.}, pages={170-176} }
