HI,

I can understand your concern for the patches on scalp.

I can make out a possibility of either Alopecia areata or post traumatic loss of hair.

You should consult a dermatologist to rule out exact cause. You can take a tablet containing Acetylcysteine, Calcium Pantothenate, Selenium, Zinc, Biotin, Copper as active ingredients. You can take these vitamins in the form of biotin, calicium pantothenate and other vitamin B complexes.

Additionally increase you protein intake on daily basis and eat sprouts. Eat a lot of green leafy vegetables and sprouts which contains vitamins and minerals necessary for normal hair function.

Take care.
