Default furless spot under chin

I just noticed my hammy Cow has a relatively big patch of fur missing under her chin on her right side

I usually don’t see it because I don’t get to stare at her upside down for too long

The spot looks purple (I guess her skin showing? She would’ve had black fur in that area)

She’s about 6 weeks old and is recovering from wet tail (still on one antibiotic)

I’m super paranoid about Cushing’s disease now too. I was looking at her tail area and being paranoid about whether she lost a little fur there too or if it’s just a little irritated from the wet tail. Or maybe it’s fine and I’m just not used to seeing her upside down

Here’s a picture (it’s kinda bad but she won’t stop moving)

Edit: I’m looking again and it’s actually kind of blue, not purple. But like artificial bright sky blue and not so much like organic skin colored blue I don’t think. Maybe she got some bedding dust stuck to that spot without fur?
