      It is a tiny bit itchy, kinda like tight and irritation. Also the hair is jet black in those areas. I attached some more photos and some I took with USB microscope.

      i wonder if it could be some fungus spores making the hair black.

      If you are worried about a fungal infection, try nizoral shampoo. Also change your pillow case every couple of days so you don't get re infected.

      i showed the photos to a dermatologist and she said she has never seen anything like this before. she said it probably isn't bacteria or fungus.
