scurfy

adj

1. Characterized by scurf; covered with scurf.

   “Many of these natives, especially the lower classes, and fishermen, have their skins disfigured in a singular manner, by a sort of scurfy disease, similar to the ring-worm, or rather to a person whose skin was peeling off from the effects of the sun.”

   “"[A]nd who do you think were sittting there? Why, my mother and your father of course, both mending boots; and all of a sudden my mother gave your father such a blow with an old boot, that the scurf flew out of his hair!" "There you tell a lie," shouted the princess; "my father never was scurfy!"”
