Could you get some better photos of his face? It is hard to see much in your picture. There are a number of conditions that affect the face. You cannot see scaly face mites without a microscope, but you could see other mites or lice. Fungal infection or favus can also cause white chaulky skin on the face, wattles and com. True scaly face mites are treated by applying vaseline to smother the mites. Favus or fungus is treated with antifungal creams such as miconazole or Monistat, or clotrimazole.

@Eggcessive to me it looks more like Favus. What do you think?

 

[Eggcessive]

Yes, I agree with @sourland that is may be favus (fungal infection.) You can find miconazole or clotrimazole cream at most pharmacies or Walmart, Walgreens, and on Amazon. Apply daily to the affected areas, and using disposable gloves would be good.
