When our youngest boy was about 5 his hair started coming out in clumps. Bald spots here and there. Luckily, we had a Dr. who did a scalp scrape skin test, and tho I can't recall the name of what he had, it was a fungus he had picked up playing in the dirt.

He took an oral medication that cleared it right up.

Alopecia effects all the hair, including the eyebrows. That's the tough part.

Yes, we hold our breath waiting for more hair in other places to fall out. So far it only affects his head hair. It affects everyone differently.
