If it is a small : Circle of hair loss, ask someone to see if there are some hairs that look like an exclamation mark *i.e.Narrow at the bottom and broad at the top) if they are present it is alopecia areata, of unknown cause. It might be that or failure of he treatment so see the doctor who is treating you.
