scalp issues

1. There is often this burning sensation on my left side of scalp, is it due to inflammation? its not itchy, but just kind of hot and flush feeling. it comes and goes, sometimes even right after shampooing. and esp when i drink green tea!

2. i have this waxy white stuff under my nails when i scratch my scalp during shampooing. if i do not scratch, the hairfall is acceptable, but when i try to get the gunk out, which is alot on the side and back of my scalp, the hair drops alot. How can i remedy this? ive tried ACV rinse but to no avail. im sure the gunk is not good for hair growth but neither is the scratching.

looking for advice,
thanks

It seems that the waxy stuff on your scalp is caused from seborrhoeic eczema.
Have you tried kefir topically?

hi crusher,

ive tried kefir for a short amount of time. actually im suspecting if its the Dr bronner castile soap that i use to shampoo my hair. i like it cause my hairloss was minimal when i use it, but i feel that it is depositing that gunk on my head. everyone is saying about how it clarifies the scalp and leave no residue but i don't know why mines so. i tried using a japanese clarifying shampoo, the gunk did lessen, but i lost much more hair during shower.
