Please have him seen by a vet for a diagnosis.
As he is a new piggy, the area could be ringworm. It is highly contagious to other animals and humans so isn’t something to delay getting checked out.
Or it could be parasitic.
His sneezing may be due to a respiratory issue. Again, he needs a vet check about this.
The guides below explain what strict hygiene and treatment measures you need to take if he does have ringworm.

Definitely get a vet check for potential fungal/ringworm and his sneezing.
