A member asked:
Around my baby eyes look dry and crusty almost like extra growth of skin. is that an ilness?

Benign crust: The eyes need to be seen by your doc to be definitive, but the most likely cause is either eczema or seborrhea. Either way it is not worth treating unless it is getting worse. I would suggest calling your doc or showing it at your next well visit.
