Unhappy Red Chest and Hair Loss

Hey, everyone!

So as of a few moments ago, I noticed my hamster has severe hair loss and redness on her chest. It also looks like it's a bump, so maybe the friction when she runs on her wheel caused the hair loss? I'm not sure.

I got her a new bedding two weeks ago from a brand that I've used before - Carefresh Complete Pet Bedding. This time I purchased the Natural one. It might be cause the hair loss, but I don't think it caused the bump.

This is a picture of her underside over the summer and the other was taken a few moments ago. I have to take her to the vet tomorrow, so I will update on what he says. Otherwise, if any of you have experienced this with your hamsters, please let me know what I can do as of now. I feel terribly about how uncomfortable and itchy she might feel right now.
