Salicylic acid mainly act on the skin,keratin layer(the above harder one layer).so as a result the skin become soften due to moisture and sheds away... Interesting fact...salicylic acid does kill the virus which chases the virus... So buddy thus us normal and once this area sheds away then new skin will be there.
