Over the past few days I’ve noticed my bird growing some bald patches, I didn’t think much of it because she’s molting right now. But the spots have gotten bigger in a very short time. They are on her head and neck, so I don’t think she’s plucking them. I’ll attach two pictures taken this morning and this afternoon.
Hello, sorry to hear you are concerned. That is definitely a dermatitis. It's fairly inflamed and could be yeast or bacterial. I would clean the area well with a gentle soap and find a vet to give some topical treatment.
