What is white mud when you scratch your hair?

The white mud scratched by itchy scalp is actually a mixture of oil, dandruff and dust. White mud belongs to the product of human metabolism, and scraping white mud is normal.

Another possibility is that the head suffers from skin diseases, such as folliculitis, or is infected with fungi, which will lead to a large amount of oil secretion and excessive dandruff. If left untreated, it may get worse and worse. Another possibility is environmental factors. Due to daily contact with a lot of dust, dirt and oil fume, the white mud on the scalp will increase.
