Hello, i have a loss of hair localized in the scalp. it shows a puffed part and it is painful especially when i touch it. how can i cure it?

Alopecia: There is a condition called alopecia which causes the hair to fall out. This is different from male pattern baldness which is genetic and not a disorder. A dermatologist can tell you if you have alopecia (an autoimmune disorder) and treat it w/medication. Peace and good health.
