Bald patch with dark outline!?

Can anyone tell me if this is normal?
It's been there since the T arrived.
I know that a bald patch can be from flicking hairs. And I know that a dark bald batch is a sign of pre molt but my A. Geniculata has a bald patch with a dark outline and I've not seen very much on this particular thing.

Thanks as always guys.

I tried to post the same thing on arachnoboards and I got one reply and it was extremely rude about the picture quality. I'm glad I'm getting decent answers from nice people on this forum.

Arachnoboards is the not nicest place for new owners. But there is very much info there. I only read there if I want to find something.

I wouldn't worry about the spot. AFter a molt everything is back to normal.
It could be from kicking hairs from stress, it could be for creating a bed to molt .... Spiders do what spiders do :D

Thank you so much for the answer. Yeah I don't think I'll be using arachnoboards anymore unless it's to try and find some info.
