It would be best for you to see a vet. We cannot diagnose what the issues with your piggies might be as we are not vets but also because we cannot see your piggies.
If you could a diagnosis of their issues by a vet, then we can support you from then on.

Okay I'll Email one thank you very much for the help.
Hi
You are likely dealing with either skin parasites or a fungal skin infection which need different treatment. Without access to your piggies we cannot tell. Please stay off low dosed and ineffective pet store treatments on spec. You'll have spend a lot of money at the store before you have to see a vet with an advanced case anyway.

Hello and welcome to the forum. It’s sounds like mites or fungal. Definitely see a vet for the proper diagnosis and treatment. It will save you money if you nip it in the bud quickly. Good luck.
