Scaly face?

[visionvalue]

Could someone please tell me if this is Scaly face. He is 6 months old and just over the last two days I have noticed brown scaly around his beak. I have been wiping it with very mild solution of dettol twice a day and at night with a parrafin based vaselilne until I can get some spot on treatment . I have order some beapher anti parisite spot on as I cannot get anything from the pet shops around here. Am I doing the right thing cleaning it?

I cannot see an image but carry one and apply the spot on , all birds need to be treated and the cage and accesories require disinfecting, F10SC will be ideal.

Thank you for that Barrie. I was told to wash everything in a mild bleach but I have done that with Dettol and hopefully you can see the image. I have been in touch with the shop where I bought him to inform the breeder that this has happened as I have read that this could have come from the nest and only comes out on young chicks at approx 6 - 12 mths of age which he is. Thankfully he is in a cage and room of his own and not with my other birds but I will do them as well when the solution arrives

Yes it is scaly Sue but the spot on will sort it out.
