Two strange dots on nose?

Hi, I have had two male guinea pigs (fully bonded) for about two months now. One of them has developed two strange dots on his nose that appeared about two or three days ago. He is acting normal so I’m not worried just wondering what it could be. And sorry for the bad light I was doing this late at night.D104E991-A753-48D0-BBD3-4240D7A006F1.webp
 
@Papaya Seed The photo is a bit dark to see properly. I wonder if it's the start of a fungal issue. A vet will be able to diagnose it and prescribe something for it.
 
Ok thank you. I will try to retake it in better light however very bright light seems to spook them and they do not love to come out in it so I’ll see.
 
The photo is not the clearest but I agree with @Jaycey . It does look a bit like the start of a fungal infection or ringworm. Please get a vet to check it out for you. If the vet confirms it is ringworm then we have a very helpful guide about action to take so that you can prevent spread (it is highly contagious). Here is the link Ringworm: Hygiene And Pictures
