Does anybody know what this skin ailment is?

I noticed it on my fuzzy hairless girl but if the others had it I wouldn't know because of their fur...

It's on a brand new mouse (in the last couple of weeks) so I'm a bit worried...of course it's in the middle of a 3 day weekend when no vets are in.

Since my mice are usually healthy I have never dealt with ringworm (is it ringworm?) or protein allergies (is it that)?

Edit: I have determined that this is pretty much ringworm. A friend and I who both got mice from a third friend have this symptom. I've bought tea tree oil. I have a 6 oz spray bottle but I don't know how many drops of tea tree oil (100% tea tree oil) to put in. Ideas? :?:

Thanks guys. Six ounces is 177.42 milliliters.

With other medications, don't the cavies lick the cream/spray off?

Thanks a lot. I have the tea tree oil and I will go get the spray too. I am paranoid. I've never seen an illness like this in my critters.

Here is a picture of her underside:

You can see the round shape on her belly.

P.S., Cait, whatever concentration you use, is it safe on pregnant/nursing does as well?
