small bald spot on scalp

I have noticed a small (thumbe size) of baldness, hair missing on my scalp. I was told it could possibly be ring-worm, but I don't see a "red" ring on the empty little spot. Please let me know what you all think a.s.a.p. THANK YOU!

I am an 18 year old female & was looking at my scalp last night because something felt strange. I felt it and bnoticed it was smoother than other parts of my scalp. I parted my hair & saw just a little over a thumbsize bald patch on my hair....0.0.
this has NEVER happened 2 me b4!!
iM white/black & mixed w/ native american & European...so, needless to say, loosing haor early "really" isn't in my genes.. But I thought back to a few months ago and I recalled having a gash around that size around that same place,
& i really "HATE" scabs.
so, annoyed with it, I picked it off..

well i'm 31 weeks pregnant and i had noticed a little small bald spot on the top of my head, i wasn't to worried until  a month later i noticed it had gotten bigger  and every time i washed my hair or brushed it more and more clumps would fall out and now i found another little spot on the side of my head...i went to see my doctor and they did some blood work which came back fine so they made an appointment for me to see a specialist but im not sure if its from my pregnancy or something else but i'm really worried and scared that im gonna go completely bald and wont grow back.....

When I first posted on this I was 21 years old. I'm 23 now and my hair had nearly spread to my entire body.

A week ago I started taking heavy doses of Vitamins and Minerals (from ebecker.youngevityonline.com) and completely removed Gluten from my diet. There are some minerals that can help you boost your immune system.

In the last three days I've noticed leg arm and head hair coming back.
