Answer
Hi Joanna,
Your guinea pig(s) needs to see a veterinarian. There isn't a picture that I can give you that will be of any help that I know of, and even if there were, I would still recommend that you take the guinea pig(s) to the vet. It could either be ear mites, or an ear infection. Either way, they both need antibiotics and treatment from a vet in order to heal.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help, but this is one of those times where a vet is needed.
  Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions!
