Varnish worn off on semi-solid floor

Hi all,
just wondering if somebody could give me some advise about fixing a small problem I have with my semi-solid oak flooring. I have a problem whereby a few patches have appeared in the varnish of the flooring. I think when the builders were laying it, they made a few scratches on it so they sanded these scratches down a little. Over time due to traffic the rest of the varnish in these patches has worn off.

My biggest concern, aside from aesthetic reasons, is that without the varnish the actual wood will be worn down and become rotten. I've attached 2 photos to try and give an idea of what I'm talking about.

Can anybody advise of what I would need to do to restore these patches?

Cheers
Shane

Is it a manufactured board or solid timber?

I would assume it's manufactured since it's semi-solid. It was already down when we moved into the apartment so not 100% definite.
