I doubt being unaltered has much to do with this or any other skin condition. Other more experienced owners can weigh in on that.

As for whether or not you should adopt that particular pig, I think it's up to you. I have 12 pigs and can't imagine letting my feelings about the shelter they came from get in the way of me giving any of them good homes.

If you are unwilling to take a pig that might be somewhat "special needs," that is a decision only you can make, though judging by the description it seems unlikely that what he has is anything other than a very treatable medical issue.

Good luck in whatever you decide!
