Hello,

I think you are having alopecia areata and it can be caused by autoimmune disease and possibly lupus.

You may need to do a total blood count and also anti ANA antibodies to check for lupus.
Also you can use minoxidil solution to put on hair to improve it.
If you have immunitary disease taking immunosuppressive medications such methotrexate can also improve the hair loss.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
