Most guinea pigs have bald patches behind their ears, if its not that then it could be mites, is he scratching a lot? just check through his fur, I was paranoid about this when I got my guys but the patches behind the ears are completely normal

could you get a photo?
A very small bald patch could be indicative of a healing bite/scratch wound and nothing to worry about. It you find a lump and it gets hotter than normal, is there something coming out of it?........well then that would be cause for concern
