Hello Cloggy
Sorry you’ve not had a response till now
This sounds more like a case of ringworm or mange. Hogs are prone to both. It will need specialist treatment from a carer so I suggest you catch them and take them to one as soon as possible.
Once treatment has been made they can be returned to you for release and it’s unlikely they will disappear if you are feeding them
Note both of these infections are contagious to humans so wear gloves and clean/disinfect afterwards including the hog house
