The Sifra writes that the nega is on the “skin of the flesh” but not in the actual flesh. The Yismach Yisroel explains that the inner essence of a Jew always remains pure and clean, as every Jew possesses an inner spark that cannot be tarnished. This is as Rav Boruch of Mezhibozh zy”a explains the pasuk in Tehillim (37:10) that states: “A short while longer and the wicked man is not here.” He explains that every Jew, even the biggest rasha, possesses a holy spark. In this place “the wicked man is not there.”
