ABSTRACT
An automated method to detect and analyze the granular parakeratosis is presented to improve diagnosis which will lead to the exact treatment. Granular parakeratosis (also known as "Axillary granular parakeratosis", "Intertriginous granular parakeratosis", and more recently, "Zombie Patch") is a skin disease that is identified by brownish-red keratotic papules that can coalesce into plaques. Granular parakeratosis (GP) occurs due to lack of keratin with a distinctive histology where parakeratosis with retention of keratohyaline granules is identified in the epidermis. Granular parakeratosis is generally presented as pruritic hyperpigmented ie itching or erythematous patches (redness of skin) and plaques in intertriginous areas, more
