If you are not receding I doubt you were balding in the first place. That bald spot is either areata or fungal

f***, I think it’s because I’ve been applying Clindoxyl in that area because I was getting acne. Wtf can it be fixed or is it forever gone?

It is an exfoliating gel, no wonder why you lost hair so quickly. It will probably come back. I get acne on scalp here and then and the only thing that hasn't done any harm is benzoyl peroxide 2%.

That looks like something other than male pattern baldness. It's circular so it could be a fungus or alopecia areata. Go to a doctor for that. @jazz1

Yes I think it’s cuz of Clindoxyl, f***. Should I use Nizoral if I don’t have fungus? My doctor is kinda low IQ and she didn’t bother checking my scalp when I asked her about my scalp acne

LOL, we all use Nizoral shampoo for male pattern baldness which is not a fungus.

If you can get 2 percent it's better but if not 1 percent will work. I would use it every other day for a week or too and then ween down to one or two days per week but expect your hair to feel drier.

Does Nizoral have any bad side effects if I don't have fungal acne?

I also use Head & Shoulders Anti-Dandruff with 1% pyrithione zinc. I don't if that helps fight against acne as well as Nizoral

For acne you need a shampoo with salicylic acid. Look on line for one.

It's probably the bleaching effect too. I applied a lot on that area for a few days, and noticed the hair on the area was dry event after showering. I guess it bleached the hair there, frying the sh*t out of it and it just all fell off. Hopefully it grows back and that the damage isn't permanent. I won't ever use that sh*t again.

Update:
I made an appointment with my Doctor for next week’s Wednesday. But holy sh*t am I freaking out. I don’t know if it’s caused by the Clindoxyl (as I used it on Mar 2 for ~4-5 days and stop completely, this was before taking the before picture in the original post which was taken on Mar 10) or by the pimple/cyst/fungus or whatever the f*** it was that was there. I used the Clindoxyl gel because that sh*t hurted when touching it.
The bald spot feels smooth as hell, and I took some pictures and notice very small hairs right in the middle of the spot
f***, I just wanna know if hair can grow back. I don’t see or feel hair grains on the spot when touching it. Can’t believe my hair got fucked so quickly.
I also noticed acne on the back of my head too and hopefully it doesn’t develop into a bald spot.
I had acne on my scalp for a while now, and never had this bald spots, or at least that I know of.

As I said I usually get acne on my scalp but no matter how painful they are it has never gotten to this point. Maybe, just maybe, the gel you're applying is too harsh and ended up causing this. Wait a few more weeks, I don't think your hair is gone forever on those patches.

I love you.
That could very well be alopecia areata.See if it gets bigger the next few days.It might also be Ringworm,and if it is you might need antibiotics.
Becareful with that,try to be on top of everything.
