I apologize, I don't understand if you are saying the chin is itchy or not. If the spot on her chin is itchy, you can try a 1% hydrocortisone cream once a day for a few days. The white spot on her hair may just be change in the pigment of the hair due to hanging, and is not a concern. I hope that's helpful for you; if not, please post again on the forum or request a consultation! Thank you for asking for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
