Flakes on scalp

Question

Flakes on scalp

Asked for Female, 20 Years

I am experiencing hair fall for more than 3 yrs. It's less now but there is some kind of deposit on my scalp. It develops next day after washing. Only aloe vera helps in reducing it but it's not entirely gone. There is no itching on the scalp but when I run my fingers on the scalp I can feel something is coming off. It is yellow or white in colour. Also sometimes there is pain in my roots and there are flakes around that area as well. What is it?

Seems like seborrheic dermatitis you need to be examined by a doctor and start with the treatment. Stop oiling your scalp if you are now.
