What is going on with my scalp?

[The Prestige]

Since the summer I've been having some issues with my scalp and I think its causing more thinning.

My scalp itches and on top of that if I scratch I get this hard yellow/white gunk balls under my nails. Its not like dry skin dandruff flakes (appears I have that too), but like a fatty substance. I'm also getting scalp pimples on the back of my head, which pop if I scratch and scab over.

Any treatment for this? Even if its not contributing to my hair loss (though I think it is since some of this gunk has multiple hairs attached to them), it can't be helping.

One derm said its fungal infection, but I'm not sure since I've been using nizoral 2 times a week for like 3 years, so that doesn't seem to treat it.

you need antifungal tablets - also try Dermax, it's shampoo. My derm just prescribed it to me.

When I was in my early teens I had thick crust scales growing on my scalp. I went to the doctor and they prescribed some shampoo that cleared it right up. I don't remember the name of the shampoo since it was so long ago, and I was in Germany so most likely it was a European brand. Your Derm should have prescribed something to go along with his diagnosis. There has to be something stronger than OTC nizoral(assuming that is what you are using).

T-Sal maybe?
