Bald spot

I am a 19 year old female. Five months ago I found a bald spot about the size of a quarter on the back of my scalp. I am trying to figure out why my hair fell out and if it will come back.

Alopecia areata. Hair growth likely to be spontaneous. Do consult Doc.

Hello there! I have a friend that has a disorder called alopecia and she developed bald patches on her scalp. Her physician told her it was a nervous condition. Her hair grew back, but occasionally she develops new bald spots. I'm sure there are numerous causes for alopecia, I just thought maybe this information was worth passing on to you. Best wishes.
