Can anyone tell me what this skin problem is and what I need to do about it? I don't know if you can see it but my piggie seems to have a patch of grey dandruff...

On the rest of his body his skin is pink and his hair is very blonde at the base, not grey like this - that's flakes!

You are best to get him looked at by a piggy savvy vet, it could be mites or fungal, only a vet can diagnose

I agree with Poppy's Mum, mange mites and fungal can look very similar in the early stages so a vet will need to diagnose as the treatment is very different.
