How Whitfield DS Oint. 60gm works
Benzoic acid has an antifungal effect and works together with salicylic acid, which loosens and removes scaly, thickened skin.
Salicylic acid is a keratolytic, which means it loosens the bonds holding dead skin cells together so they shed more easily. This softens hard, thickened skin such as warts and corns, removes scales and helps unclog pores in acne. It also has mild anti-inflammatory properties.
