Dry brown skin patch on baby's face?

Does anyone know how to get this off, or what to do about it? He has a patch of dry brown skin between his eyebrows, fairly large. He was born with it, and I figured it would just go away. But it hasn't.If I rub on it a little bit, little white flakes of skin fall off into his eyes, ugh. I rub it lightly with a washcloth every time we take a bath; not sure what else to do. Anyone have this?

Addison had that too, all on her forehead. I scratched it lightly with my fingernails while she was eating and then wiped it away with a washcloth as it came loose. It didn't bother her one bit and the area looked much better when I was done, no irritation or anything.

See how my baby is doing

Thanks. I started doing that today, and noticed again the little flakes were falling in his eyes. Your washcloth tip should help.
