Default Black patches on back behind ears

So my Syrian hamster developed a black patch on his back behind his ears. This is were he once had red dry skin from his ringworms. I also notice this on my other Syrian too but he has a bald spot were his is. Is this normal for them. One developed this fairly quickly, first it was a bald spot then a black patch.

Can you tell if the black patch is fur or not?

one of my hamsters is completely bald in that spot. The other has thinning hair around his spot.

I can't really tell. You might have to get answers from someone else.
