Possible Fungal Infection In 5 Week Old Guinea Pig

[buttonlove]

I brought home my new sow earlier this week and have noticed a scabby area on the side of her face. I have checked her all over and there are no other patches like this.
I have put some candula & silver cream on the area today, but wondered what peoples view were of it?
Does it look fungal to you? & what is the best course of treatment, especially with her being so young still!
If it's no better with creams by Monday I am planning to take her to the vets.
Sorry that the photos aren't that great quality!

Thank you in advance. x

EDIT: I have already treated her for mites with xeno 50 to rule that out.

Hi! It looks rather like fungal; please be very careful in case it is highly contagious ringworm, which tends to come with new shop or breeder piggies. Please have her seen by a good vet for a proper diagnosis and don't home treat on spec.

Thank you @Wiebke
She is still in quarentine from my other two girls thankfully.
I will get her booked into the vets asap.

That is good news; fungal flourishes particularly in this warm, rather moist weather.
