I have a large bald spot that my hair dresser found recently. There is no scaling but in the patch there are small pink colored patches of skin. From time to time my head aches in that region with a tingling sensation. I am not sure if i have alopecia areata or if this is some sort of skin rash but I also have another bald spot growing near the top of my head with no pink patches. I have posted a pic here. I have an appointment with the dermatologist on wednesday but have no idea of what to expect. I do not want to have a scalp biopsy done... can this be diagnosed with out one? I am extremely worrried about this trip to the derm. Any info will be helpful!
