Hi.
As per your case-history we need to ask certain questions to reach to diagnosis-
Whether there is any texture change in bald patch?
Is there only one such patch?
Is there any past history of similar patches and pain?
The probable diagnosis maybe alopecia aerata.
You can try a tacrolimus 0.03% ointment on that patch for 4-6 weeks.
If satisfactory results are not seen then consult a dermatologist.
Thanks.
