Answers:
Rheum is thin mucus naturally discharged as a watery substance from the eyes, nose or mouth during sleep (contrast mucopurulent discharge). Rheum dries and gathers as a crust in the corners of the eyes or mouth, on the eyelids, or under the nose. It is formed by a combination of mucus (in the case of the eyes, consisting of mucin discharged from the cornea or conjunctiva), nasal mucus, blood cells, skin cells, or dust.
