Why does my cat suddenly have a small bald spot on her face?

I just found this on my cats face, It is a small random bald spot. I am worried that my house cat may have something wrong. She does not scratch or lick herself a lot so I am confused where this came from...

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Meatloaf. This could just be from an injury. It's small, and I don't see any sign of infection, so I don't recommend a vet visit at this point in time. I would leave it be, and see if it heals. Give it a week, and if it still looks like this after that time, then have her seen by a vet. I hope this helps!
