My RES has a pinkish spot on her chin (see photos). I could not remove it by rubbing it with my finger. She is otherwise healthy and behaving completely normally. Any idea what this is and what should be done? Thank you!

Is it possible she rubbed it when going against the glass? I'd keep an eye on it but I don't think it's something to worry about.

Thanks Steve. It's possible, although the spot is in an indent. I would have expected a bruise to land on a more protruding part. I'll keep an eye out.

It might be a scab or something similar to a callous. Those usually disappear on its own.
