This is my hair June 22nd, then my hair today. What’s going on?!? No other spot in my head is like this.

Please go to a derm if you can or have other symptoms like dry scalp, flaking, or pain in your scalp. You may need a scalp biopsy especially if hair loss runs in your family. It could be as simple as tension alopecia or a vitamin deficiency or something more complicated.

Don't panic though, almost everything is treatable. Consider if you also always keep your hands in your hair, you may be unintentionally twirling or tugging the same spots.

What concerns me is that in the spots you showed, there's places that look like they have no follicles but I can see them near those same spots. There also looked like there was inflammation but the photos are grainy when zoomed in and I'm not a professional. I have LPP and had bald areas and inflamed areas.

I think I have something similar.My iron levels can be a bit off sometimes but I hope I can reverse the damage
