Just noticed my girl has a bald patch on her chin which looks like dry skin. Never seen this before and have no idea what this could be.

Sorry for the bad pic

It's difficult to say, possibly mild fungal. Does the hair come out easily if you tug it gently? Another possibility is that she has rubbed it on something.
 
Well that's good. I would get it checked by the vet just to be sure. Mange mites is a possibility too but is not a common location for that.
