Check with your vet of course but I was thinking it possibly could be ring worm. We had one once that lose some hair because she had been running a fever for two days.

All guineapigs have bald patches behind their ears ranging from quite large to fairly small. You can see their skin, which will be the flecks you see. If it's really big, it could be mange or ringworm or some other infestation, so keep an eye on it.
