You probably have alopecia areata. The vast majority of people with this rather common disease do not have Hashimoto's thyroiditis or any other systemic disease. The hair grows back in a few months without treatment in most cases (though it may happen again some day.) By all means have a dermatologist check you out, but in the meantime, hair care is anything you want to do.
