I've recently found this dry skin patch on Pepper and I'm not sure what to make of it or how to treat it. He doesn't like me touching it so I believe it might be very sore for him but it does feel bumpy and dry. Any advice on what to do would be great, thanks!

Oh dear that looks concerning. It could be from mites or lice but from what you describe and show I would be leaning towards a fungal infections such as ringworm. You need to see a vet ideally tomorrow to get a proper diagnosis and the correct medication. In the meantime please ensure you follow strict hygiene routines as fungal conditions are highly contagious and can spread to humans. I will see if I can find the guide for you

Fungal can sound scary but as long as you follow strict hygiene procedures and seek prompt treatment you should be back on top of it in no time. I had an outbreak earlier this year. By the time I got back from holiday 3 of my 4 were infected but a couple of weeks later and it was all sorted
