YOU REALLY NEED TO BE SEEN BY A DR. BUT TRY ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT AND PUT A DAB OF PINE SOL IN YOUR BATH WATER TWICE A DAY TO HELP GET RID OF IT. I KNOW IT HELPS WITH RING WORM, ETC.

come on are you kidding you would put the question here be fore going to a doctor? oh if you got it from the pig where you work , that's on them , file a Workman's comp claim with your employer an the hospital an get a lawyer so if it is something bad you are covered

Sacrifice the Guinea pig to the Guinea pig god, and all your Guinea pig sins will be foriven.
