Izzy could have allergic skin disease, or a bacterial or fungal infection, or a wound, or any number of things. If this area spreads, becomes worse, or doesn't go away on its own, she needs an exam by a veterinarian. She may need to have a skin scraping done or other diagnostics to figure this out.
