Brief Answer:
Alopecia areata

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

From your description it seems to be alopecia areata and the topical ointment could have been a steroid like Betnovate 0.12% lotion can be used for this twice a day for 7-8 days.

You can see a dermatologist for a closer look at the loss of hair.

Regards,
Dr. Vaishalee
