This looks like Fowl pox. I'm not very experienced with it so I'll tag some others here and leave you some info.

@Javi the chick lover what part of the world are you in? your chick is so young any others with the same thing? I really don't know much about fowl pox and have no idea if this is what it is.
@Eggessive would have alot more knowledge than I.
How does this feel? Hard, soft? flaky?

Yes, I would agree with @RosemaryDuck that the chick has fowl pox. Most adult chickens do well with pox, but it can be very hard on chicks. It is a virus carried by mosquitoes, and last about a month. Antibiotics do not help. The dry form causes scabs on the face, comb, and wattles. The wet form can cause yellow material inside the beak and throat, and is more rare. Make sure the nostrils are not closed off, or that the eyes are open. If she cannot see, she won’t be able to get enough water and food. You can assist her to get enough. Plain Neosporin ointment can be applied to eyes if scabs are close to eyes. Do not disturb scabs as it spreads the virus.

If you have other chicks outside, bring them in away from mosquitoes. There is a vaccine available, but chicks have to be old enough.
