Brief Answer:
Alopecia areata most likely

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query carefully and understand your concerns. You seem to have alopecia areata. It could be due to a fungal infection. I would insist you to apply Candid (Clotrimazole) lotion topically a few times a day and see if that helps.

Hopefully, the condition will gradually improve.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
