Yellow sphere like waxy balls coming from my scalp what could this be?

Oil?: This could be a form of dandruff where one gets a buildup of sebum or oil. There are treatments for this so you should see you dermatologist. You could start with an over-the-counter shampoo containing tar or salicylic acid.
