Vets do like to confirm these things with tests, but I think the culture is unnecessary--there is no doubt in my mind that it is ringworm. The first time I dealt with ringworm, it was in the same location, just under the eye. My vet gave me "pledgets" -- anti-fungal wipes that I used very carefully, being sure not to get it in the eye. I much prefer to treat ringworm with shampoo, but do not know if a full-body treatment is safe for such a young pig. You might be able to use the shampoo in just the problem location, thereby limiting exposure. Leave it on for 10 minutes, during which you can distract the pig with snacks. You then carefully rinse it with water.
