scabby patch?

[Smoo]

one of my sows has a hard scabby patch just to the side of her nose, shes dark coloured so i didnt notice it at first, it doesnt seem to hurt her when i touch it and its mostly just a hard scab not very big, just wondering if anyone knew what it could be ?/

my piggie books havent been very helpful so far!
could take a pic and show if it helps, thanks in advance for any answers!:{

A picture may help if you can get one. The usual causes would be a fungal or parasitic infection, or - if she lives with others - is there any chance she has been nipped near the nose?

heres a pic, i dont think shes been bitten she only lives with her daughter but ive only had them a week and noticed it a couple days after i got them settled in. :...

that lookslike she has been bitten or in some sort of fight x

It looks like fungal to me, it is a common place for it to start but it is hard to tell, does she seem to be scratching the area?.....you can try a few things, for example daktarin or Gorgeous guineas website has a contact email for her where you can email her that photo and she will advise. She makes and sells anti fungal lotions

looks like fungal to me to, best to get some cream/shampoo as soon as possible

Thanks everyone for replies x>> ive emailed Gorgeous Guinea's the picture so hopefully i can figure out what kind off treatment she needs. Id prefer to get some shampoo/cream etc from someone who knows about this kind of thing as i wouldnt trust my vet. I took my chinchilla there with a fur ring that was quite bad and they charged me £25 for a consultation with a spanish vet who just mumbed something in broken English which i knew already:0 We had to have him put down in the end so not keen on having to return to them.
