Has he been scratching at his eye? The brown crust sounds like it could be dried blood, and the pink flesh probably just means he's scratching off the fur.

I really would recommend having a vet look at this, just to make sure it's not an infection, or fleas.

That's likely what's causing the brown crust, dried blood. Obviously something is bothering him, and he's likely scratching it. The vet needs to find out what's going on, whether it's an infection, fleas, a scratch, a cut, or something else. Sadly, since we can't look at your cat, there's no way to tell you why this is happening. Only a vet can do that, and then give you the proper treatment plan.

For now, until you get to the vet, make sure the eye is clean. You can use a facecloth with warm water, and gently wipe away the dried blood, if he'll let you (he may not want you coming any where near his eye right now). Keep the area clean, and try to prevent him from scratching it.

The sooner you see the vet, the better.
