Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your concern may be patchy alopecia areata or tinea capitis. Consult a dermatologist for physical examination and further evaluation. Nothing serious, you will get back your hair and both are curable.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sandeep Golla
