Scurf Rim The outside border of the iris is the skin zone. This zone should be the same color as the basic underlying iris color.

Key Points 路 When the skin is under-active, and not eliminating toxins through perspiration and sweat as effectively as it should, this area darkens into a distinct ring that spreads in towards the pupil. 路 It becomes particularly noticeable if skin eruptions are suppressed with antibiotic or cortisone treatment. 路 A scurf rim in children can indicate excessive sugar in the diet.
