Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bald spot at the side of the head . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like genetic factor , fungal infection and hormonal changes. Need not to worry. Take Indian goose berry powder with water once a day and use olive for massage. Keep your scalp dry. I would suggest you to consult trichologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination. Doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 3-4 months or anti fungal treatment along with minoxidil spray .Doctor may also refer you to endocrinologist for hormonal changes . Doctor may also prescribe supplements like Vitamin A ,Omega-3 and Vitamin E . Doctor may also recommend hair transplant with HUE technique.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
