I noticed this, what looks to be just, a bald patch, on my Abyssinian guinea pig during lap time. It doesn’t look inflamed or he has not been scratching etc- only just noticed it no idea how long he has had it - is this normal?! Any advice or experience please

I am not one of the forum health experts but i would take my piggy to the vet if they had a bald patch. They can be caused by all manner of things including fungal infections or mites. It may be nothing but it is always worth getting these things checked out.
