Scalp buildup/hair loss

Not sure where to post this, so thought I’d try this subreddit. I’ve been experiencing hair loss for the past 3 years, my hair has thinned out extremely. I get a very itchy scalp, not a lot of flaking but when I itch I have this buildup under my nails? I wash every 3 days or so, and at the peak of not washing (third day) the buildup looks almost yellow in color. Even the same day washing, my scalp is itchy and the buildup is white and seems like dead skin cells.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced this, and how I might be able to manage/get it under control? I’m at a loss. Went to the dermatologist a few months ago and was prescribed Spironolactone and Minoxidil topical. I’ve been hesitant to try the topical Minoxidil due to already having an irritated scalp most of the time. No tests were performed by the derm and I was told that it’s “probably” Seborrheic dermatitis. Although I don’t get the classic large flaking etc.

My eyebrows do get itchy as well, though and skin is dry.
