have you eliminated ringworm? that can start off with grey/white scabby skin around the eyes, but is often "cured" by sunshine, so it may be something else.

Can you get photos? It sounds like warts, or viral papilomas. These are caused by a virus & spread round by biting flies.  They usually self cure & disappear over time eg 6 months, although in severe cases or show cattle a vaccina can be made to speed this up a bit. Photo would be good to confirm though

Could these be 'angle berries' wart like growths? They would have been quite common many years ago. I have not seen evidence of them in a long time.Sounds like a consultation with your vet might be advisable.
