This appeared on the top of my puppy’s head. Not a full circle. Does have hair loss at the spot. What is it? How can I help her?

This looks like it could be the start of ringworm although many different things can cause hair loss. I suggest you take her to your vet for an exam when you can. In the meantime you can try this spray: https://www.allivet.com/p-6677-douxo-chlorhexidine-micro-emulsion-spray-for-dogs-and-cats-68-oz.aspx?SearchTerm=duoxo+Auto
