I started noticing this condition on her belly yesterday and really fully today. I’m not sure if I should be concerned enough to go to the vet. Any insight is extremely appreciated!!

I would watch this for a day or two. If it isn't getting better, if it spreads, or if Hazel has itching or any other symptoms, then she should get examined by a vet. It may be caused by flea bites, allergies, or a skin infection.
