It looks like this could be ringworm or some type of yeast or bacterial infection. Even if it is not bothering her, I would recommend that you take her to the veterinarian to test the spot, especially since ringworm can infect humans. The veterinarian will most likely recommend a skin scraping to look for infection and parasites, as well as a culture for ringworm. This way they will be able to treat it appropriately.
