- What kind of deficiency do I have if, although my scalp is extremely malleable, I'm at NW4/5...AND more importantly, any sort of massage or pressing of my scalp leaves dents/marks/bruises that sometimes take months to heal or fade away? I can just squeeze my scalp right now and a little lesion will appear, particularly on my forehead/front side...I really can't do the massage protocol for hair loss because of this...makes me think its a deficiency for sure?
