David,
It sounds very much like your little guy has mites. You can take him to 
the vet to make sure or treat him yourself. One drop of kitten or puppy 
revolution behind one ear once a month for 4 months works well. So does 
Invermycin horse wormer. You would have to squirt the whole tube in to a 
small bowel and mix it well. Take a small syringe without the needle and 
draw up 1/10 of a cc(or ml whichever term you are familiar with) and put 
that into his mouth once a week for four weeks. The cage will have to be 
totally cleaned and disinfected. If the other guinea pigs are in the 
same cage or have been in a play area together you will need to treat 
them also.
