Hello dear. This is called alopecia areata.
Vitamin D and Iron supplements will not cut the ice. You will need intralesional steroid injections in the patch itself.

You are having patchy hair loss in front called as alopecia areata. Best option for it is to go for corticosteroid injection over there.
