I am 95% sure that Willow has a early fungus infection. I noticed it this morning when I was doing a photo shoot with her.
Willow has white dead skin that is on her fur and skin. It is on her ears,nipples and underside.
Her ears are also a bit red.

If I have to I will go to the vet but if there is a at home treatment that would be easier.

I will post photo's once my cameras battery is charged.

Monistat, Nystatin, or Lotrimin will work. Put on just a dab with a q-tip, and work it in well. Do this twice a day for several days and see if it improves.

Awesome thank you. How long will it take till I see improvement?

A few days. Keep treating for several days after you thin it's well -- fungus can be stubborn to get rid of.

Also, see www.guinealynx.info/fungus.html for cage cleaning instructions.
