What is this?

[Dan Angelis]

I just found this on my long hair girl and it’s not the first time she also had it on her ears so what is causing this

Is it dry, flaky skin that comes off with hair to leave a bald spot? The picture is too blurred to tell properly (it's always difficult to get a sharp picture). If it's on the ears too, it may well be fungal that needs to be seen by a vet.

Please see a vet. It could be ringworm or another less aggressive fungal skin infection. High temperatures and humidity are an ideal breeding ground. The picture is too blurry to do more than just guess.

I work on the basis of any concern see a vet just to be on the safe side.
Hope whatever it is doesn't turn out to be serious

My guess is dry flaky skin since it looks like that to me but I will check with the vet once I have the money

I'd be thinking fungal to be honest, vets check would be advised

Is it contagious the ringworm or the fungal to my other guinea pig or humans

Yes it is highly contagious to any other animals in the property, not just other pigs but any other pets too. It is also highly contagious to humans and proper hygiene rules must be followed to prevent contamination

Wait which one the ringworm or the fungal

Riñgworm is fungal. Riñgworm is highly contagious and unfortunately quite common. Some other fungal infections are not as contagious but definitely see the vet ASAP. Impossible to diagnose from a pic
