Hi and welcome to HCM!
First of all I would like to clarify certain things. The bald patch that you have mentioned needs to be detailed, like how big is it, is it completely smooth, any other such patches elsewhere. If the answer to above questions is yes, and keeping in mind your past history of Similar condition, I would make a guess that you are suffering from Alopecia areata. It is a skin condition where body fights against own hair. Not worrisome much if it is limited to few patches because complete hair regrowth is the usual tendency.
