Hi
Your daughter seems to have developed Alopecia areata .
This is basically an autoimmune condition in which there can be development of patches of hair loss.
Although it is a reversible skin condition and regrowth of complete hair occurs in most cases ,it is important that you see s dermatologist and take proper treatment,
