It looks like a scab. Make sure there’s nothing sharp in her cage and check to make sure it isn’t big on her body, she should otherwise be okay!
That was my suspicion as well, I check on it everyday and it looks like is healing with no problems
I think is the wood bedding, since I found it near her burrow
Does she have any noticeable bald spots? Winter white hamsters change their coats during summer and winter months so if you have a winter white that could be what it is. Just watch her healthy, energy levels and the rest of her fur. If anything changes in her mood or activity or she’s starting to bald then it might be worth a vet visit
No, not that I know of
She eats and drinks just fine and yesterday she finally got used to the wheel
She is most likely a white winter hamster! So hopefully is that
I'm very unsure how she was raised in her old house so I don't know whether she behave the way she behave here
Update, I found a weird spot on her head, is not a bald spot, it looks like a wound?? I checked the fur that dropped and it had something hard attached to it like hard skin? I'm very unsure

That’s concerning to me, maybe try to check with a vet or an expert?
