My dog has a discolored bald patch on her side. Should I worry?

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 7 months and 13 days old | 3 lbs

I noticed a bald patch on Daisy's left side. She was spayed back October but her belly fur has since grown back. In the bald patch there is some discoloration. She is acting her self, eating jumping, pooping and peeing. What could cause this and is something to worry about?
