Excess oil production that causes redness, flakiness, and irritation is a condition known as _________.

• A. Rosacea
• B. Seborrhea
• C. Acne
• D. Eczema

Answer: (B)

Seborrhea describes excess sebum production that can lead to redness and flaky, irritated skin. When this oily skin condition has inflammation, it’s called seborrheic dermatitis, which fits the description of redness with flaking. Rosacea mainly shows persistent facial redness and vessels, not flaky scales. Acne involves clogged pores and pimples rather than oily flakes. Eczema is typically dry and itchy skin without excess oil.
