Looks nasty and quite sore too - poor piggy.
We really can't diagnose just from a picture, so both of your piggies really need to see a vet asap.
Skin conditions are usually easily treatable, so the sooner they are diagnosed the better.
 
If you have had a piggie with a fungal infection then this is highly contagious and it is likely that this piggie has also caught it.
