Hello !
I understand your concern.
I would like to know if you have noticed any liquid to get out of that tiny hole?
In my opinion it may be a skin problem of the scalp . It may be nothing, just a skin structural defect . But the hair loss may indicate a skin problem . I think you should be seen by a dermatologist.
Hope to have been helpful!
Thank you for using HCM!
