Hello,
Welcome o health care magic.
From your description, it seems to me that you had alopecia aereata. This is a condition characterised by a sudden onset of bald patches on the scalp. In 70% of the cases, the hair regrows on its own. From your history, it seems that that problem has resolved now.
As far as your overall hair growth is concerned, i suggest you get your hemoglobin and thyroid status checked. If these 2 are normal, you could take oral biotin supplements. Have a diet rich in protein.
Hope this helped.
Take care.
