So sorry Steffy is having this issue. It is difficult to say what may be going on without a photo. Is there any way you can repost your question and include a photo or two? Possibilities (without seeing a photo): * injury * ringworm * skin mite * allergy * folliculitis * injection site reaction (like from a vaccine) * topical reaction to medication (like if you applied a flea medication to her in that area) If it is just one small spot and it is not bothering her then I would just monitor it and see what happens. If it does not go away or gets worse then I would get her to your vet for an exam. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
