Bare Patch on Cat's Flank

I noticed this little bare patch on Mewler's flank today. She isn't unwell at all but she has been licking it a bit. She hasn't been out as we recently moved and she's still settling in. Any ideas what it could be? I can only think that she may have got too close to a radiator but I'm not sure how likely that is as there's no change in the skin colour and it's only one small patch.

Could it be tapeworm? When my cat got tapeworm the first symptom was bald patches.

Or possibly stress of the move causing over grooming?

I don't think she's been stressed by the move but it's possible she's bottling it up and getting ill. I'll look up tapeworm. Thanks
