Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have gone through your query and I have also reviewed the Images.
You seem to have developed a condition known as 'Alopecia Areata'. It is characterised by focal bald patches of hair loss which may affect the scalp or other hair bearing regions like beard, moustache etc.
Treatment of choice for alopecia areata is intralesional injection with diluted triamcinolone acetonide into the patch. It may be required to repeat the injection after 3 weeks and usually hairs would grow back in about 4-6 weeks.
I suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your vicinity for the neeful.
