Lesions like that are suspicious for ringworm (which humans can get) or an infection. I recommend to have Moody wear an elizabethan collar at all times to protect the area and to have her examined within the next 24 hours. Testing for ringworm is straight forward and you want to get this taken care of quickly. I hope this helps.
