Is this ringworm. Noticed today while brushing her. She had been scratching recently. I washed my hands after just in case.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It looks more like a hot spot or a bruise. It doesn't really look like a ringworm but it is hard to be sure without examining Penny in person. Please, take all the precautions you would if it was ringworm (use gloves or wash your hand after touching the area) and take Penny to your local vets tomorrow.
