PURPOSE: To compare the efcacy between SO and salicylic acid SA in the treatment of plantar keratosis of diabetic patients. METHODS: Randomized, double-blind clinical trial, with 47 type 2 diabetic patients, both sexes and with plantar keratosis. Patients were randomized into 2 groups: G1 (n = 48; treated with 15% SO extract) and G2 (n = 46; treated with 10% AS). The feet were photographed before (D0) and after the treatment (D30) and keratosis areas were measured using the Image J software. For each patient, a lesion in each foot was analyzed. The results were expressed by median. In the statistical analysis, the Wilcoxin test was used to compare the lesion areas before and after treatments and the Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the regression of the lesion areas between the two groups.
