When you go thru radiation, you will develop a bald spot. Think of how the radiation machine angled it towards you then make a direct line thru your head and thats when the exit place is. Thats the spot that you lost your hair and its now growing back. I didnt notice my bald spot right away either.

I have several place like what you are talking about. When I was hospitalize for 2 months, I developed several bald spots from always lying the same way. Now those bald spots turned into stubs of hair about 2" long. Sometimes, they stick straight out so I just wet them down to make it blend in.

Yea, being toothless takes alot of adjusting. Will you be able to get dentures or implants?
