My advice would be to go to African-American dermatologist for professional treatment. That spot sounds like a form of alopecia that may or may not be reversible. Once you know what your medical problem is you can take it from there. Pressing or braiding it may not be wise as the burning and pulling will only futher damage your already damaged hair. There are some really nice wigs out there and eat lots of vegetables. But first and foremost, see a dermatologist, preferable black.
