This is called the grease gland. Here is what the above link says.
The grease gland in a guinea pig is located just above where a tail would be (if cavies had a tail). Some sows and some boars have active grease glands that can be a challenge to clean. Pet owners claim success with these methods of spot cleaning the area:
Masaleb is a very popular cleaner. Shampoo the problem area with this product, let sit for ten minutes and rinse.
Dawn dishwashing detergent reportedly removes the grease.
A non-abrasive mechanic's hand cleaner like Swarfega may help you clean this area.
Apply Neosporin, hold your guinea pig for 10-15 minutes (to prevent him or her from ingesting it) then remove antibiotic ointment with dishwashing detergent.
Cetaphil cleanser is more effective than other listed alternatives for one Guinea Lynx member.
Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Coconut Oil has worked extremely well for another member. This product reportedly has ani-fungal properties and can be found on the internet.

MotaroRIP gave you the correct and detailed answer, listen to him. If you are really worried then it will not hurt to take him to an exotic vet.
