Hi
According to your complaints it seems to be alopecia areata which is a chronic inflammatory disease of the hair follicles charactersised by bald patches on hair bearing areas of the body.
It is usually treated with topical steroid lotion like mometasone or clobetasol propionate lotion twice daily.
