Its : Its unlikely biotin will hurt, but i also doubt it will help. From your description it sounds like you have alopecia areata.

Sometimes a combo of topical steroids and rogaine (minoxidil) helps. But first you really need a diagnosis. This could still be many things and it would be worth your while to see a local medical dermat.
