Clinical photography a digital camera was used Olympus SP570UZ with master software 2.0. The images obtained both in the initial phase without treatment and at the 72 hours of treatment were transferred and stored on a 4-core Sansung computer. The auto-dial adjustment option was selected. In this way, the camera selects the optimal way to take the photo shot. Analysis of the affected skin with scabs. 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. Results.
