Numbness: Scalp numbness associated with abnormal hair loss in that region could be due to nerve damage from skin pathology. I recommend that you consult a dermatologist and if no skin disease is present, then a neuropathy could be the problem. A neurologist should then be consulted.

Pressure on the: nerve supplying the affected area of the scalp can happen at the locations where coming of the cervical spine. It would effect the sensation of the scalp.
