I would wait it out my chin had a bald spot on his tail hair grew right back
 
there is a chance it is fungus. Put some Desenex (athletes foot powder) in their dust and dust three times a week for a couple weeks.
 
I know that Desenex works for some people, but for me I prefer to treat with Blu-Kote. Put Blu-Kote on twice a day for five days and it should take care of it. That would be a very unusual place to have a fur slip or to have fur pulled out unless they were fighting. I agree with Barb that it could be fungus. Either way, dust or Blu-Kote, it won't hurt to treat him.
