Patch on leg??

My cat Blackie right hind leg is a patch ( iam going to attach a picture so you know what I mean). Its had been like this...before Raven so I say 2 weeks since I ve notice. I was hoping it would grow back but now it seems to be getting a bit bigger. Hubby is going to call our vet tomorrow, but i just want to ask you guys what you think it maybe...?

Our 11 yo cat gets patches similar to this on her rear thighs at times. We have the vet look at her whenever she`s in for something else or when any of it starts looking inflammed or if she`s picking at it. Our vet thinks its some sort of environmental allergy. A cortisone shot helps at times when it seems to be spreading, but for our cat it never completely goes away. We`ve upped the quality of her food & that seemed to help, but she pretty much always has a patch or 2 where the hair is sparse.

Please do have a vet look at it though, it could turn out to be ringworm or something thats going to be a huge bother to get rid of it you don`t get it checked out.
