Hi,

It may be alopecia areata. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply tacrolimus 0.03% lotion on bald patch. It may take few months to recover.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
