Looks like mites to me which needs to be treated with invermectin by a vet (please do not try and treat with over the counter meds but see a vet), the other option is fungal but the vet will be able to tell you. Both are easily to treat but should not be left without treatment, you can make a non urgent appointment to see the vet within a few days.

Hi!

Please have your guinea pigs vet checked for mange mites.
