It appears to be alopecia areata, which is associated with sudden loss of hair in well defined patches . Since it’s a single patch localised treatment with topical medication can restore here growth. It may take 3months at least.
Next Steps
You may go a direct consultation for further management and prescription.
Health Tips
Since it is an autoimmune disease, start focusing on building immunity and stress less.

Hello. It doesn't look too dangerous. It is looking like alopecia areata which is a small patch of loss of hair. It is not of major concern. It requires some ointments to be applied after which the hair will come back completely in 2 or 3 months. However, that small pustule needs to looked at directly. It is not an emergency though.
Next Steps
Consult a local Dermatologist
Health Tips
Stress increases alopecia areata.. Dont be anxious about the problem.
