I'm really worried about my new guinea pig

[ziko]

I already posted about this but I just want to be sure, Percy has one sort of flaky ear and the inside seems to be scabbed.
is this the start of something like ringworm? or is it just excess wax from his ear?
I've been on edge these past 2 days because I don't know what to do about the whole situation considering my mom isn't taking my worry seriously.
please someone help

I’m sorry to hear of your worry.

The guide below details information of common conditions but only a vet can make a diagnosis and prescribe any appropriate treatment

Please take the advice given above seriously.
Your guinea pig really needs to see a vet for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Certain skin conditions such as ringworm can also be transmitted to humans, so it is best to get a diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible, so you can take any necessary precautions.

I managed to convince my mom to take him to the vet tomorrow, I'll get both my pigs checked out considering they're in the same enclosure and I'll keep you guys updated

You always need to treat all your piggies with any contagious problem.

If ringworm or a fungal skin infection has been diagnosed, we have got a very helpful step-by-step care guide to prevent any further contagion and get on top of the problem once and for all.
Ringworm: Hygiene And Pictures

What we cannot do is diagnose safely just from a picture where a hands-on examination is necessary. If you have got new piggies, you can reclaim any vet cost from the pet shop if they have been seen and diagnosed within 2-3 weeks (UK) or 1 month (USA).

Please let us know how things go at the vets tomorrow.
Hope it’s nothing serious.
