While walking home from work today, I fell on a rough surface and scraped my scalp, making a chunk of hair fall off. Can this lead to that spot becoming bald?
you should consult a dermatologist.
off topic, how did it happen? in detail.

I'm really unsure myself, I can barely remember it. I might have fainted.

traumatic brain injuries are a real thing. I suggest getting checked out at the least.

Go to a hospital now, loss of consciousness from a fall is very worrying and could be life threatening.

I'm feeling fine besides having scraped my head and left hand. I'm really only worried about hair loss.

You could have a brain bleed and not even realize it.

Any loss of consciousness is a concussion. You were concussed. Watch out for signs of depression and these others that may come on within the next month or two. Lots of people come out just fine from a concussion but some people only need one concussion to have serious issues arise.

Your hair will grow back just fine. Skin grows faster while moist so keep a LIGHT coating of vasoline on the area till it's completely healed. Worst case scenario, the hair regrows white.
Also, let someone know that you've had a concussion so they can monitor you for the next couple months as they might see the changes when you don't.

No, unless you literally lost skin. Otherwise you probably just ripped a bit of hair out and that can lead to it not growing properly in the next months. But it should grow normally again unless you lost a thick layer of skin.
Holy shit OP how much did it hurt?
You were literally skinned alive.

I have no idea what exactly happened, there's a hole in my memory. I still feel a bit drowsy, but I'm doing fine.
Alright, OP here. I visited a clinic today, where they desinfected my wounds. Concussion was ruled out since I was pretty alert at the time, and I feel alright now, not drowzy anymore. I've bought some vaseline so I can seal the wounds.
Were you walking across an Indian burial ground? The spirits wanted your scalp.
