Toddler alopecia? Bald spot on head. Help please!

My 3 year old daughter has developed quite a significant bald spot on her head towards the front and I feel like it's getting worse by the day - I only noticed it 2 days ago. I'm freaking out as she has the lost gorgeous long hair down to her bum. It's obviously too late to make a Dr Appt but I will first thing tomorrow. But can anyone tell me if they've had experience with something like this? Will it get worse? Can it be reversed? I'm really worried for her.

@OonaghT thank you so much for your advice. Sorry for all the questions, but do you remember which multivitamin you had? I've just swapped my daughter to a new multivitamin as it has more vitamin d and iron and zinc but I have read that it's sugary!

No apology needed xx
I don’t remember which one unfortunately
he was old enough- 10- to swallow a tablet- I think the local health store recommended it.
