Hair fall

Question

Hair fall

Asked for Male, 24 Years

Why do I get this white/yellowish, wax-like soft "stuff" under my nails every time I scratch my scalp? This only happens when I scratch my scalp and its not flaky at all. Even after using anti dandruff shampoos like thrice a week the condition still persists. Sometimes I find my scalp itchy and small pimple like structures are occurring on my forehead ever since this started one month ago.
