Hi

Thanks for posting your query.

I went through your query and I can understand your concern.

I am of the opinion that you might be having a fungal infection of that part of the skin. Fungal infection is not a serious disease and can be treated easily, just that it requires 3-4 weeks of application of medication.

But it would be of much help in diagnosis if you can upload a picture of that skin baldness so that I can give a more accurate diagnosis.

If that is not possible ask for an anti fungal cream from your doctor and use it for 4/weeks. . That shall correct your problem.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.

Regards.
