Bald patch

My single male house bun Willow has a bald patch around his neck, I noticed it the other day but it's hard to get a good look at it as he's a lionhead cross and there's lots of fluff there anyway. From what I can see it's very smooth and doesn't appear to be irritating him or bothering him. He's moulting at the mo, could it be related? Am thinking about popping him down to the vet to be sure, just wondered if someone had any information? Thankyou!
 
Has he had any vaccinations recently? When my buck had an injection about 6 months ago, he ended up with something like an ingrown hair that caused some irritation and a bald patch. He did need a trip to the vet for some cream to put on it, but he recovered really well. I hope Willow does too.
 
Ooh yes he has had his VHD jab quite recently so that would be worth looking into.

FC thanks for posting the link will have a looky now.
