You need to first find out why you have bald spots and why you are losing hair.  This generally requires an examination by a doctor.  If you have a diagnosis, you can consider treatment options.Bald patches can be Alopecia Areata, Lichen Planopilaris, fungal infection, or other medical conditions which all have different treatments.

This can be caused by many conditions including a fungus, a disease called alopecia areata, etc... What I am saying here is see a dermatologist and then you will get a diagnosis. There is no substitute for seeing a good dermatologist.
