little white patches I see on my scalp?????
Last night as I started to apply my MTG on my scalp between my braids, I noticed white patches on my scalp and tried to scrape them off with my finger and for some reason they left after a good rub. The strange thing is they are not flaky like dandruff( I have had my run with dandruff so I know it's not those little critters).
My husband took a look at my hair and called them mold-like!
I have read a thread where a few ladies had some whitish round patch on their head and noticed that their hair started to fall off!
I'm believing if i think no evil, no evil will happen to me
But seriously has anybody had an experience like this before?
A little background:
I'm currently on the Crown and Glory challenge for one year, My braids are about 3 weeks old, I wash/co-wash every week, spray my braids religiously every day and apply MTG only on my scalp about every day.
I actually suspected over drying from applying too much MTG-I hear it dries out the scalp. But if it does, won't the drying be flaky?
Help somebody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It maybe sulfer build up, be sure to clarify that scalp really good on poo days.

It could be some sort of a fungal infection. Try some straight tea tree oil (dabbed on sparingly with a q-tip) for a few days and see if it helps. Oh, and maybe lay off the MTG for a bit. Good luck!

Thanks ladies!!!!!!
I'll try the tea tree oil and stay off the MTG for sometime. I think I'll stick to castor oil on my scalp for now.

I'd say try Nizoral. You can get it at any drugstore. Last year I had a few white patches that didn't seem like dandruff either. When I finally went to the doctor, she said to try something like Nizoral. I used the shampoo and cream for the first couple of weeks, then just the shampoo. Now I use the shampoo about every 5 weeks just because. And my scalp is clean. If that doesn't work, then go to the doctor ASAP.

I agree with GABeauty. Try the Nizoral. I have both the prescription strength version and the over-the-counter version that you can get at the drugstore. Both have worked to clear up scalp problems for me.

It does sound fungal. Go to the doctor.
