Skin Problems Piggy has white spots on his ear

Can you post a picture?

It probably is fungal. You can get some Lotrimin at any pharmacy or grocery. Apply it twice daily with a q-tip and rub it in well.

What do you think i should do im kind of getting worried...

I think you should do what I said in my earlier post. It's nothing to worry about, but you need to treat it.

Thank you I'll try it and also I had another question , My piggy always scratches behind the same ear and earlier today he got a bunch of hair off of him and now he bleeds. I'm going to take him to the veterinary tomorrow but do you think it's some kind of parasite??

That sounds like mites. You can treat it yourself: https://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/threads/111160-How-to-treat-for-mites-and-lice.

Hello, I think it's mite too. I read your recommendations but on the product, there's a picture of a horse and also, if I only need to apply it behind one ear does it mean that the mites are only behind one ear?

You can apply it behind both ears if you want. It spreads through the skin, so it doesn't really matter where you apply it. The recommended place behind the ear is because there's no hair there and there's better absorption.

The best thing to get is the 1% injectable or the .5% pour-on. Either would be applied by putting it behind the ear. The horse/cattle paste is VERY concentrated and hard to dilute for a guinea pig.

Hello, thank you very much you have been very helpful and finally I saw what he had... They are fleas ! I found so many of them and I bought a treatment. For his ears I will go to the vet and apply betadin I'm so grateful for your help!
