Sounds like alopecia areata.

Mange is a parasitic infestation of the skin of animals.

Could be caused by stress, poor diet, ringworm, allergic reaction, it could be ANYTHING. I'd go see a doctor and have it looked at, possibly a dermatologist.

You don't have mange! It is most likely, Alopecia Areata.
Read all about that here see if this is it.
