African American Man with Dark, Bald Spots

I am a 35 year old African American male. I started balding about 10 years ago. I recently started getting dark spots on certain parts of my scalp, and no hair grows around the dark spots. Sometimes it itches could you tell me what this might be and what is the best way to treat this condition. Thanks for your help Dr.
