Silvia is dead on, I make a lot of iodine, it is composed of potassium iodide and iodide salt. Normally mixed half iodide, and 2x potassium iodide. It is the amount of iodide that your iodine contains that burns the skin and causes it to peel like a sunburn. Iodide is very unstable and will suck up all the potassium in your skin to be stable. That again dries it out and it peels. I most likely will leave this world wondering why we bother mixing the two ingredients to make iodine, as the iodide will immediately grab potassium and then it becomes potassium iodide. I take iodine orally and feel certain the iodide grabs potassium atoms within moments of reaching the stomach and it instantly turns to potassium iodide. I think Dr. Lugol who invented iodine which he put on cuts etc to disinfect had good results with iodide in killing germs. david lubbock tx.
