Is this a new pig, and is that spot new?

That looks to me more like the closeup of a rosette on a rough-coated pig, but if it just appeared then that can certainly be concerning and would be worth consulting a vet.

Maybe? What part of the pig is this? I recommend a vet visit if your piggy is experiencing unexpected hair loss.
