I Bought A Baby Guinea Pig A Few Weeks Ago From A Really Bad Situation Really Felt Bad For The Rest Of The Piggies. I Took Him Home And After A Week I Notice A Bald Spot On The Nose Area I Didn't Think Much Of It Until I Saw Little Scabs I Can't Post Any Pics Yet
 
Hi, it could be that he may have been fighting with other piggies...or he may be over grooming due to stress...or it could possibly be something wrong with his skin...your best option is to take him to a vet since he has come from a bad situation to get a full work up done and they will be able to check the scabs as well to give you a better ide of what they're from...and if you need to treat them with anything...
 
Was finally able to upload these and thanks I will definitely go to vet since I was already planing on getting him neutered because I also have a female it socks having to "rescue" piggys in these harsh breeding conditions

Looking at the photos I would defiantly go to the vet...they will be able to run some tests to rule out things...and give at least treatments or pain relief to help...since they're from bad situations taking them both for a full work up is good too so you know what is going on and to make sure they're healthy...
