Does Alopecia Areata typically progress rapidly?

I have had a small bald patch near my hairline that I first noticed about two years ago. I noticed it after going through a stressful time which made me think I might have alopecia triggered by stress. However, the patch never fluctuated in size, it hasnt grown hair back at all but I dont think it has gotten bigger either. My primary care doctor did a pull test and it came back negative he said the skin there looked healthy. It just stresses me out because I know its there. If it was alopecia areata would the spot most likely have gotten bigger or changed in size in any way? I was a premature baby and I know they had to put a catheter in my scalp but I doubt that would cause a bald spot. Please help?
