Bald spot with dark skin protrusions (Reminds me of fleas/ticks on a dog)

[AliseSousa0130]

My guinea pig has some sort of dark skin protrusion that kinda looks like a tick on a spot between her leg and torso(inner thigh/hips). The thing is she's never been outside and I don't have any other pets (we're working on getting her a sister, but it's been difficult given the pandemic). What is this?!

Do nipples usually look like this? It seemed discolored and scabby, but I was using a mirror and pics to look at it at the time.

I agree, it does look like her nipple.

Thank you for your reply btw

Looks like a nipple to me. If it’s a little crusty add some Vaseline to it

Thank you all for your replies and advice. I feel much calmer and a bit silly, but I'm glad I asked.

That's a nipple. Guinea pigs only have two, and boars have them as well. Color can vary, just like anywhere else on the coat. No worries, perfectly normal!

It does look like a nipple to me, too.
