Circle/bald spot/rash? on piggy's ear

[Fluffbabies]

Hi guys!

I was just doing our piggies' weighing, health checks and pedicures and noticed this circle on my long haired's ear. It doesn't look crusty like a rash but it's paler in colour than the rest of her ear and it's like a perfect circle. I wonder if anyone's seen something similar and might know what it is?

I have attached several photos and one of the other ear where there is a little bit of lighter area. I'm not sure how else to describe it. She seems healthy in every other way, happy and her normal self.

It looks like some ungal, potentially ringworm, to me. Please have it vet checked.
The outdoors, warm and often humid weather make it easier to pick up fungal spores and provide ideal conditions for it to grow.

Thank you. I’ll get her to the vet they’re inside piggies and we have the flat well ventilated

Fungal and skin parasites are not a sign of bad care; they can happen even in the best places, so don't feel about it!

I realise I was just saying because I wonder how she got it
