What is Pityriasis Capitis Steatoides characterized by?

  1. Excessive sweating

  2. Fatty types of dandruff

  3. Brittle hair strands

  4. Inflamed scalp with no dandruff

The correct answer is: Fatty types of dandruff

Pityriasis Capitis Steatoides is a condition that is characterized by fatty types of dandruff. This means that the dandruff produced by this condition is often thick, greasy, and yellowish in appearance. Excessive sweating (choice A) may contribute to the condition but it is not the main characteristic. Brittle hair strands (choice C) can be a symptom of many different conditions, but it is not a defining feature of Pityriasis Capitis Steatoides. Inflamed scalp with no dandruff (choice D) is characteristic of a different condition, such as psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis, but it is not a characteristic of Pityriasis Capitis Steatoides.
