Does this look concerning to you?

I did a rehousing last night for my T. vagans. She spends most of her time in her hide, and molted about 3-4 months ago. She climbed up on the side of the enclosure after she took a roach, and I noticed a bald spot on the bottom of her abdomen. It didn't look like it burst to me. No holes or fluids. Just a bald spot. I'm worried it's some sort of abscess or tumor. Any ideas? Should I be concerned?

Most likely a drag spot. It could be an internal cyst but it looks like a drag spot IMO. Your T doesn't look particularly overweight or anything but I'd feed less at this point. Keep monitoring but I don't think it's much to worry about!

You're probably right. Was just odd to see it so bald when she spends most of her time in her hide on coco fiber. Will do, thank you!

Probably rug burn from dragging. Same thing that happened to this one of mine.

Underside abrasion help?

I rarely see this happening. I’ve changed the substrate already i noticed the spinnerets looked roughed up a bit too and discolored was some minor mold. It was on 100% Eco earth.
