Max has a mysterious bald patch on his head between his ear and eye. It's a little bigger than a quarter. The skin doesn't look irritated and the hair nearby doesn't appear to be falling out when I brush him.

Have you ever seen this? I don't know if this is a common issue that goes away on it's own or if I should get him to the vet before it becomes a larger problem.

Could we see a picture?

Here are the pictures of the bald spot. It's only on one side of his head.

Maybe he had an itch and scratched some of the fur off?

..sorry, I'm no good at advice. x.x

It's probably some type of fungus or parasite.

Does it look scalley (sp?) . One of my dogs had a ringworm once and it didn't look like a regular ring worm. It was just a scalley spot on her neck. Maybe try some over the counter anti fungal creme for about a week. You should see results by then if its a fungas.

Is there a red ring on the skin? Is the skin flakey at all? If so, could be ringworm, Nizerol AD will take care of it.
