Question normal for fur coming out in clumps/Is there a doctor in the house?

Is there a doctor in the house?
Hi It's Scooter's owner here. I'm new on this site & am trying to navigate the best I can here. Scooter is an 11 yr old female spayed DSH. She has some fur matting on her backside mosly. Am I too agressive in grooming here if I pull some fur out by hand. It doesn't hurt her. But Is it odd that some spots show faster than normal fur growth, so I pull some out.

I know I over did it once on the back of the head. There's a small bald spot there now. Growing back past 3 days, I notice. Could it be a sign of some internal infection, as well? She behave's normal. Any feedback is appreciated.

Please see a vet. Problems like these cannot be diagnosed over the internet and the vets that visit this site are not on often enough to make it worth your while to wait. Please don't re-post threads. The members see them, wherever they may be.

Please post again when you have an update from the vet.
