Keratolytic (ker-uh-toe-lih-tik) therapy is treatment to remove warts and other lesions in which the epidermis produces excess skin. In this therapy, acid medicine, such as salicylic acid is put on the lesion. Keratolytic therapy thins the skin on and around the lesion. The medicine causes the outer layer of the skin to get loose and shed.
