Bald spot from... weaves

So weirdly enough I’ve been wearing protective styles for quite some time. While my hair is growing I will say having braids are over rated. I took my hair down and noticed a huge bald spot on the side of my head 😥. I want to cry right because I don’t know what to do. Please help!

As you can notice the other side is still fine....

P.S. I’m swearing of braids and weaves. They will only be for special occasions from here on out.
