I agree with Nadene. It sounds like your budgie has scaley face. You can purchase Vetafarm Avimec from decent pet shops. It's easy to use and very effective. Link to comment

You go to your local vets and they will give you a small jar of it. You dab it on with a childs paint brush, on the back of their neck. Link to comment
