What Causes Waxy Build Up On Hair At The Crown?
For the last month I have had a waxy feeling buildup on my hair at the crown. I have tried using the no-poo method (baking soda & apple cider vinegar), clarifying shampoos, dandruff shampoo, cleansing conditioner, gentle shampoos, all to no avail. I DID have some relief after soaking my hair in acv for half an hour before showering, but the waxy spot was back by the next day. Is this due to stress, hormones, or allergies, or can it be some kind of bacteria/fungus?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such spot could be due to fungal infection if this is not the alopecia and in my opinion this can be best managed with "Miconazole cream" or "Selenium shampoo" because of absence of your age and gender information something being not cleared, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
