hi fellow piggys one of my girls has got a spot just above her nose. She doesn't seem to be bothered by it. Nothing really comes up on the internet apart from bald patches (which she doesn't have) which says is ringworm.
Any help would be helpful thanks.
Or in guinea pig week weeeeek!

Hi! could you please post a picture? It is impossible for us to say just from your description.

Bald spot on the top of the nose are not common and as such could be something more, however as Wiebke says, can you post a picture close up and we can take a look. It's important that vet treatment is seen too as quickly as possible.

This is what I found on my beloved Captain Jack last week and then I found this.

He's currently being treated for fungal but all precautions have been taken and are undergoing treatment.

Looks like a little wart or cyst to me. Please get her seen by a vet to check it isn't anything more serious.
