does anyone know what this is on my guinea pig’s nose?

Hello and welcome to the forum.
That is one very cute piggy.
The best advice is always to see a vet with any health concerns about an animal.
Hope it’s nothing serious
 
To be honest, it's difficult to tell, looks like food. Can you see if the skin underneath is red or flakey?
Thanks for the reply. The skin underneath isn’t red and i hadn’t thought about it being food. It looks like it is growing out of his skin like his hair, not stuck to it though. So i think i am going to take him to the vet and see what they think it is

Hi, i think i am going to take him to the vet just to be safe. Thanks for replying.
 
I've had a stubborn poop before stuck to a foot and thought it was something else...lol try a little warm water and some cotton wool, if nothing comes away and it has a bump and definitely attached. Yes a vet visit is a good idea.

It looks like a fungal stripe to me, my georgie had one but it’s gone now.Id recommend a vet check anyway, they should be able to give you some cream.
thank you for replying i will take him to the vet and see what they think
