Asked By:diontv in Netherlands, NL

I have a bald spot on my upper head, in the middle and rather close to the front outlines of my hair. My barber spotted it yesterday, so I don't know exactly how long it's been there. It's on a rather random posititon. The barber thought it could be stress related and mentioned Alopecia areata. I have added a photo of the spot.
