Hi and welcome

Can you tell us more what the first round looked like and how it was treated? Was it seen by a vet?

Please have a look at this link here and try to work out which of potential guinea pig parasites or fungal skin infection is applying to your case: New Guinea Pig Problems: Sexing & Pregnancy; URI, Ringworm & Parasites; Vet Checks & Customer Rights

Unfortunately, without clear pictures and a location on the body, we cannot even start to guess so the above link with an overview will hopefully help you best. There are more in-depth information links on skin parasites and ringworm hygiene/treatment in the various chapters.

All the best.
 
So sorry your piggy is itchy...
if it is for the second time I'm assuming there was some treatment for the first time?
What did vet say, did you get medication, and did treatment work for a little while or not at all?
