Pumpkin has a tiny bald spot on her foot, about an inch or two below her pads. There's a bit of dandruff but doesn't appear to be any kind of infection/fungus/injury. Could this just be in response to her walking a certain way and wearing down the fur? Maybe?

sorry but i do think it is fungal

check with vet

I would treat it like a ringworm even though it is not like a regular ringworm

i dont think it is from walking a certain way but your vet would advise you further about that

You should probably check with your vet just incase.

A photo of it might help.

However, that sounds like the area some cats will "overgroom" down to bare skin. You definitely don't want to get ringworm, so a check at the vet would be a good idea.
