Alopecia Help...

Hi,

My daughter is 7. My husband noticed this morning that she all of a sudden has a small bald patch on top of her head. I had never noticed but now it's all I see.
I'm so worried it's Alopecia! When I look closely there are tiny black dots on most of the bare scalp but a tiny bit completely bare. I would say it's the size of a 5p.
I asked her if she pulled her hair out and she said no. A few weeks ago, she had a hair wrap in which was secured with a small silver clamp (it was done at LegoLand!) and when she washed her hair it came out... but when she showed me the braid, it had a load of hair attached, like it had been yanked out of her head.
But that was about 3 weeks ago?! I would've noticed before then!
Need advice! I'm so so worri d for her!
