I noticed yesterday that one of the piggies has a dry patch on one ear. Was thinking it may be fungal and going to pop to pets at home today as they sell a fungal spray. Hoping we have caught it early.

:D Very hard to tell from the photos. It may just be that the skin is a bit dry. If you have some moisturiser for babies, you could put that on the ears to moisten the skin.
I would get it checked by a vet first before you use anything from the shops. These things are usually just preventative and can often make things worse.
 
Fungal infections are common in warm in humid conditions. Please have the ear checked properly by a vet for a correct diagnosis. Treating on spec with cheap general shop products can make things worse rather than better.
