Why does my hedgehog have a white bump on her snout and a sore foot?

Question

My hedgehog Peggy has a whiteish looking bump on her snout. She has been acting normally, though I’ve only had her for a week. She also has a sore on her foot, so I have temporarily removed her wheel from her habitat. Pet's info: Exotic | Unknown - Exotic | Female | unspayed | 0.5 lbs

Yes, I would temporarily remove her wheel. You can also try using this spray on her lesions. If no improvement in a week or so you should have a vet check her as this could be ringworm or skin mites. https://vetericyn.com/product/vetericyn-plus-all-animal-wound-and-skin-care/
