It looks like a very clean bald patch, but as it's on the back it could possibly be the start of ringworm. I aren't a vet so I aren't 100%. I have had a few come in with ringworm but usually on their face or ears, but it is known for them to get bald patches on their backs. X
 
please have your piggy checked by a vet. Hopefully it’s nothing.
