There's really no way we can accurately diagnose this, and without a diagnosis we can't offer a treatment.
You'll have to take your guinea pig to the vet.

It could be distemper.
Distemper KILLS if it is not treated, take it to the vet!

The vet really is your only option.
We can't diagnose here, and there are too many possibilities of what it could be. A guess won't help you. It could be nothing, or it could be serious, but only a vet can give you the answer.
Good luck.
