So... my guess would be that it is some type of an absecess. Honestly if you don't have enough money for a vet- than you shouldn't have it. But that's not going to help the sitatuation right now. If you guinea pig has acess to the out doors, check to be sure that it isn't a tick, they can be small like a pin point, to the size of a quater. If you have a hair clipper (like what they use at the baber shop), shave the hair around it so you can get a better look at it. You a baby wipe or alcohol wipe and wipe it off and put neosporin or first aid cream on it if you have any. It could also be ring worm that is inflammed. If you could take a picture of it at all from a couple of different views and post them then I could help you much more!! Good luck and I'll check back for pic's (even if you can't post them on here, if you can post them someplace else on the web, i can look at them)

Good Luck

Okay, so after seeing the pic's I can tell you that it is probably not an absess. It looks to me like it is either a tick or a wart. It is unlikely that it is a fly egg. The fly's are usually present inside the wound with the eggs. A wart, can be a nusiance- but is probably not going to kill her unless you start seeing more of them, then it could be a disease. The other posibably is that it is a tick, but that would only be explainable if she goes out side, or if it could have infested her bedding. If it turns pale greenish in color (almost like a catapillar), then it is most likely a tick, and will fall off on its own. They can carry disease though- so that's another reason to take her to the vet, but if it is indeed a tick, you can try pulling it off. If it doesn't come off then leave it alone, you don't want to pull off a wart. However if it ever falls off, then clean the area with rubbing alcohol, aka isoproboyl alcohol. Best of luck. If it appears to be getting bigger or other ones start to appear, or it you see something coming out of the hole, then take her to a vet. Around me (chicago land area) a vet visit costs about $30- and you can tell them that you are on a tight budget and tell them how much you can afford, and they can usually work within your limit.
