Brief Answer:
Probably caused by yeast infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up image.

I have reviewed it and this area shows remnant of broken hair strands. This is highly suggestive of a possible yeast infection responisble for this. I will recommend that you get an antifungal shampoo and use regularly. In the interim, you may want to use a wig while your allow the affection to be controlled and hair growth to return. This might take as many as 6weeks.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Keep me posted about this.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
