Hello I don't really know where to post this but my friend is looking after one of her friends 2 rabbits and one has this on her head and my friend is worried because obviously it's not her rabbit and she doesn't really know what to do or if it's contagious to her own rabbits. To me it kind of looks how peaches ringworm looked but I'm no expert.
Any help is much appreciated :)

Keep it isolated from her own rabbits, ensure she washes her hands between animals, and if possible change outer clothes between animals and arrange for it to visit a vet asap to be on the safe side. ;)

Thank you, do you think it could be fungal? She's in a panic at the mo.
 
It does look like it could be fungal.
You have had some good advice from BossHogg who is very experienced with rabbits.
If at all possible I would take the rabbit to the vet to have it checked and possibly start treatment.
How long has she been looking after the rabbit? This looks like it didn't appear overnight.
 
I'm not sure to be honest, I haven't seen her for a couple of weeks but she called me last night and sent me these pictures and asked if I knew what it could be, and if I had something to seperate the rabbits because the other one keeps licking it and she thought that's what could have caused it, but when I got the pictures I said it could be ringworm and sent her into a panic. I was at work at the time so by the time I got home she text saying she was going to sleep and that she will text me when she's up and not heard anything yet. I will pass on all advice to her :)
