Severe crusting in a dog with scabies of several months duration
Crust
A dried exudate on the skin surface, either serum, blood or

Crusts are commonly seen in diseases with a pustular component
(eg canine pyoderma, pemphigus foliaceus), and where the exudate
from erosions and ulcers dries on the surface of the lesion.
