Had this hatch out...I'm not sure what's going on, but I suspect it's just something on his skin at this point that will shed away when he sheds for the first time. But close up has me wondering further...I just don't know. But for now this one looks pretty neat. It's a lava corn. Out of normals het lava, charcoal and hypo. This was their second clutch for this year and their first year breeding. Thought I'd share.
looks like dry skin....wetten him a little bit more...
....wetten? ---dampen....is wetten a word...?...I live in PA Dutch coutry...sounds good to me...

Looks like he took a milk bath 
If it wasn't on his eye I'd say I hope he stays like that as he looks awesome. But it being on his eye, maybe it's better that it goes away with his shed as you suggested. Please post another pic after he sheds!

I had the same thing happen several yrs. ago on a couple of sunglow corns,unfortunately it came off with first shed!
Jeff
Yes, the general consensus is that it's going to shed and the white will be gone. There are different ideas floating around why this happens but it has happened to others and they had pics to share. So it isn't so new. But just in case, I'll keep a close eye on it and hope...LOL! Just something I hadn't seen before and had to share. And now from others piping up on another forum, I find that yep, it's happened to others too. Thanks for looking and your comments.
What are a few of the theories you have heard about this?

"a snake in the grass is a GOOD thing" 
it's the vermiculite
it's the humidity
it's water blisters
too much calcium
not enough calcium
vitamin deficiency
We've ruled out vermiculite, as this happens in other people's hatchlings in different incubation media. So I'm sure he'll shed out plain lava shortly.
he shed out normally, all white is gone. Just a nice little lava
