It's definitely alopecia areata usually caused due to the imbalance of immunity. Don't worry kindly consult for further guidance as it might need some procedural treatment

That doesn't look like a scar from a boil, dear. It looks like alopecia areata. Still, I'll need a clear photo. If it is AA, it is completely treated by creams and lotions
