Crusty Eyes What is this white around my guinea pig eyes?

I noticed this white around my guinea pigs eyes and I tried wiping it with a wet cloth, but it didn't do anything. She is still eating and drinking fine and it doesn't seem to be bothering her and my other guinea pig doesn't have it. Should I be concerned?

I can't tell from the picture. Is the white stuff around her eye, or on the eyeball?

If it's on the eyeball, t could be osseous metaplasia. It doesn't bother the pig, and there's nothing to be done for it. Read https://guinealynx.info/eyes.html for more information.

It is around her eye not in her eye

Can you get a closer, better lit picture? It may be hair loss from fungus, but I can't tell from that photo.
