Looks like a rub spot, besides that it lloks normal
Indeed I agree. You see it a lot with new world Tarantulas, where they rub the abdomen with their back legs.

If this is the case it should be fine once it molts. Being an OBT you probably won't have to wait very long.

It's a bald spot, seeing as P. murinus don't have urticating hairs it's most likely the result of the tarantula repeatedly rubbing the abdomen against something in the enclosure as it goes about its business.
