...but first try gently bloting the area with a folded up paper towel wetted down with a 1:10 dilution of Clorox...this'll reduce the fungal spore load...then try adding a light sprinkling of antifungal powder to the site...the 'scab' that jyohe mentions is a sort of "walling-off" of the area from inside the egg, a good thing, and the egg goes on to hatch...
