White powder upon scraping the scalp
I get a little white powder in my nails when I scrape my scalp. I don't have itchy scalp, I don't have flakes or dandruff. I am fairly clean, I bath every day. That white powder is slightly waxy.
Is that white powder the sebum? Is that white powder an abnormal thing? Is that white powder normally present on the scalp and becomes visible when we scrape?
