I would be concerned Opal has an infection, likely bacterial but ringworm (which humans can get) is possible too. I would recommend to take her into the vet for fungal testing. The infection is spreading so treatment is warranted. She will likely receive some medication to apply to the areas and potentially an antibiotic. I hope this helps!
