Hi. It sounds like your piggy could have a fungal infection. One ofmy girls had one last year. She had dry skin on her ears, a scab on the side of her face and one on her back. The fur around the scabs came away leaving her with 2 bald patches and her skin was fairly pink in those areas.

Have a look at this link:

I could be wrong. Good luck at the vets

My 4 girls are having mite treatment as well so feel your boys pain. They didn't have injections though but something on the back of the neck which they need 2 more treatments as the vet isn't 100% sure it is mites
