My pet pig has white, fast-growing mold-like skin growth. What is it?

Question

A major "white glue" element keeps growing within my pet pig's skin areas like white mold. It grows back fast like biofilm if removed. I live too far from vet. area plus low$ after being displaced by Calif. wildfires(so have a current poverty m.o. since FEMA accidently had my case fall through the cracks in their database). Anyway, can you PLEASE give us any idea to aid us + further telemedicine costs you offer. Also, 'relaying a photo so maybe you can 1st pindown what it might be. Thank you!

I'm so sorry but I have no idea what this could be. Can you post again with some photos of the pig and her skin so we can see what you are referring to? Just this photo of the discharge is not that helpful. All I can tell you without seeing her is to try a medicated shampoo to combat seborrhea. You can bathe every other day. Lather, let shampoo sit on skin for 10 minutes and then rinse. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-6684-douxo-seborrhea-shampoo-for-dogs-and-cats.aspx )
