Sores all over my guinea pig?

This is my female 6ish year old guinea pig. She lives in a cage with another female her age - different breed. I had noticed these a while ago but she never seemed in pain, ate/pooped fine. They’re now all over her body and don’t seem to fully heal. She has minor patches of hair loss but those to grow back.

I’ve done a lot of research, and can’t figure out what this is. Like I said before she is eating/going to the bathroom fine, sleeping normally, popcorn’s, and doesn’t appear to be in pain at all.

Can anyone help me out?

Welcome to the forum

Please have her seen by a vet for diagnosis particularly as it’s been going on for a while.

There are several things which can cause this so she needs to have a hands on check to determine what is going on and what treatment is needed

I hope she is ok
 
My first guess would be mites, but she needs a hands-on visit from a vet to confirm. That looks really uncomfortable, I hope you can find a solution for her!
