Does the 'skin problem' look like a bald spot?

Ah, the problem of using common names. I would have said G. rosea.

Anyway, if that is the case, I would not be worried. With New World tarantulas, bald spots are a fairly common occurrence. It is simply the result of them having rubbed urticating bristles off.
