Hello,
As per your description it's a patchy hair loss. It could be due to local skin infection like fungal. Try using anti-fungal shampoo initially and see if it's getting better or not, else visit your dermatologist for proper checkup and treatment if needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
