What is Seborrheic Dermatitis characterized by?

  1. Redness and oily appearance patches

  2. Excess of thick, scaly skin

  3. Highly contagious bacterial infection

  4. Yeast infection

The correct answer is: Redness and oily appearance patches

Seborrheic Dermatitis is a skin condition that is characterized by redness and oily appearance patches. This condition is not caused by an excess of thick, scaly skin (Option B), as it is commonly mistaken for dandruff, but the condition may result in flaky, scaly skin. Seborrheic Dermatitis is not a highly contagious bacterial infection (Option C), and it is not caused by a yeast infection (Option D).
