Alopecia areata: This is alopecia areata. The cause is unknown, but a dermatologist can inject a steroid solution into the spot to make the hair grow back faster.

It: It could be localized alopecia areata or even discoid lupus erythematosus. If you consult with a board certified dermatologist he can usually tell on inspection. If necessary performing a few laboratory tests can help come up with a diagnosis and treatment options.
