A small patch on my back head
Hi everyone,
Yesterday I went to cut my hairs but I was surprised to see a small patch on my back head. Can anyone tell me what it is? Apart from that I have no hair loss anywhere. I'm fit and healthy. Workout everyday for 1hour. Is it something that I should be worried of ?
I have attached pic of it see (u shape patch). Please give some advice. Is it alopecia?
