Rooster has pale face, runny nose, and ashy white bumps on comb

I don't think it's pox
But clean it with warm.water ND cotton cloth maybe some fungus
No lack of oxygen cause blue comb

U should look for lice , mites or internal worms cause these all things cause pale face..


I don't see anything related to pox
thank you :D He doesn't have lice or mites, the one bump is getting smaller and is no longer ashy, so i don't know what that is but it's going away, I've been cleaning them daily and applying green goo in case it was some sort of infection. He doesn't have a blue comb his face is pale.
I have no way of checking for internal parasites.
How would i go about identifying fungus and treating it?
 
I was out locking up the coop and i noticed that my rooster had a small chalky white patch on the side of his comb.
I remembered something i read about a while back, favus, or ringworm in humans. I had ringworm once in first grade, so now I'm paranoid. It touched it a bit and it flaked off a little but i didn't want to aggravate it if it's something bad.
Blukote is antifungal correct? Should i put a bit on his comb? What causes favus? I haven't integrated any new birds and they are under a covered run there's very little chance of him getting wet (until today when we got our first rainstorm but he doesn't like the rain do he just hides). I put a bit of green goo on in case it was just dry skin, I'll check him and get pictures first thing in the morning.
 
Favus, a fungal infection, could be possible or just dry skin. Clotrimazole from the dollar store (generic of Lotrimin) is good for applying on the comb if you suspect favus. It certainly won’t hurt to use it, but it doesn’t look very serious. Here is a link from Merck Veterinary Manual of favus:

Okay and what about his face going pale? What could cause that? Thank you.
