First post on this forum i wanted it to be a happier one than this but while I'm sure degus don't get acne as humans do but my degu has what looks like a red spot under his eye and the fur around the spot has completely disappeared and you can see his skin does anybody have any idea what it could be, thanks in advance

It could be the result of fighting or vigorous grooming, something that has left as scratch, or a scare as Smux suggests. Is it growing in size, or oozing at all? If there seems to be any indication of infection, you should probably bathe it with a warm salt water solution, made with water that has been boiled. Use a cotton bud to gently wash it, and wash it 1-2 times a day. If you see it getting worse, off to the vet I think.
