Balding patches
I started getting patches of hair loss on my scalp about 5 and a half months ago and it has slowly progressed around the main patch that started. The past usually starts with a inflammation of my skin and the hair gets very brittle and weak. The hair falls out and I can easily pull it out as well. The hair that falls out or is pulled out is enveloped in an odd white substance. It looks similar to a bulb from a hair shaft but it is not. It looks like a fungus or parasite
