What might be causing hair loss above one eye?

My sweet Cam has just finished a week long course of Clavamox. She's feeling nauseated and is vomitting. Taking her to the vet today (ketones are normal, so I'm hoping it's just constipation). But, she's also been scratching at her left eye, and balding noticeably during this same period. It's not symmetrical. There is no evidence of infection. It doesn't seem itchy (I've rubbed the area myself and gotten no reaction from her). Could it be stress? Could it also be the Clavamox? Could it be a food allergy? Pictures attached. Has anyone experienced Clavamox and hair-loss? Or vomitting and hair-loss? Appreciate any guidance and insight.

Most food allergic reactions are symmetrical so it may not be a reaction from food. Adoubt from the oral Clavamox. Could be a contact alergic reaction or irratition. I wouod ject monitor it to see if you can see Cam pswing at itt or if it gets worse.
Cats inherently have less hair above the eyes and that is really evident on a black cat and not really noticeable for light furred cats.
 
Update: the vet seems to think this is unrelated to her other symptoms. Just a small bacterial infection. In terms of her other symptoms, pancreatitis :/
