Bald patch

Hey guys, I have a question about a strange bald patch I found on Willow's tummy area.

I have been giving her and Biscuit a 9 day course of panacur to prevent worms and when I do so I check their ears, bums and body for any signs of a health problem. Well today I checked Willow's bum and saw she had a small bald patch on her tummy/genital area. I immediately panicked and thought it was urine scald however after having a closer look, I saw that it isn't red or inflamed and that apart from one slightly wet poo in that area, she is pretty clean down there. She is eating perfectly fine and isn't actually like she is in pain at all so I was wondering, could it be urine scald? Do I need to do anything to the area or just keep an eye on it?

Thank you in advance!
 
She may be moulting and the new fur just hasn't grown yet?
One of my rabbits currently has a few bald patches and it looks really odd with pink skin, black lionhead fur and the odd little tufty bit starting to regrow.

Ahhh ok, that helps put my mind at ease a bit! I will of course monitor her and make sure it doesn't get worse/get red, especially due to where it is, but it's good to know that it could just be because of her moulting haha. Thank you!
