Hi! While you're uploading,Yellowish yucky bumps? did you rule out wet pox? you might have a look at foul pox to rule it in or out. Here's a link to several picture threads. https://www.backyardchickens.com/newsearch?search=Foul+pox

Dry fowl pox would affect the comb, wattles, face, and other parts of the body. I'm not sure that is what you are seeing, but they can appear very light, then tan, and darker brown as they scab. Mosquitoes transmit the pox virus, and unless there are complications such as wet pox in the throat, or eye infections, it usually goes away in 2-3 weeks. Iodine applied to scabs can help dry them up, but otherwise don't disturb the scabs (if it pox.) . Hopefully you can send a picture.

Do you think vetracin opthalmic would work on foul pox lesions?

Vetericyn is very good to use for treatment. Fowl pox is viral, but the Vetericyn should help fight bacterial infection.

Thanks. I thought it would be safe in and around the eyes. Can you drop in on https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1024386/puffy-swollen-eye/10#post_15902918
