Small red bald spot on scalp

Hi, I'm a 21 yo female who is in good health.  Recently, I noticed a small bald spot on my scalp, which is red, surrounded by flaky skin, and seems to be right about the location where I usually part my hair.  There aren't really any symptoms for the spot...it's not itchy or warm.  I wonder if it could be fungal infection because I recently got a perm, and the stylist could have used contaminated equipment...but that was a few weeks ago.  Could it have manifested now?  Also, from my own reading, red bald spots on the scalp can be from ringworm infections?  I do go to bed with my hair wet sometimes, and I wonder if the moist environment would have contributed to that.  Any input would be very much appreciated.  Thanks!

Does anyone have any idea what this could be?  I'm very worried.

Did you ever figure out what this was? I just discovered the same thing on my scalp, on the part line--and I'm really worried too!
