Question about hamsters

I have a black bear hamster. Lately, she has lost almost all her hair on the bottom and looks like she is developing little, round, blisters? Does anyone know what is wrong with her and how I can fix it?

I've heard of cysts in rats or maybe it could even be an allergy.
Are there any vets near you that are small animal practice only? That would be your best bet as to finding out what's wrong.

There aren't any that are small animal only, but some vets will see small animals. I may have to take her in. My mom thinks it might be an allergy or maybe something in the carpet that is causing her to scratch constantly. I am going to keep her off the carpet for now.

Ringworm maybe?

I've heard hamsters can get it fairly easy.Good luck Hope she feels better.
