Pityriasis amiantaceahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pityriasis_amiantacea
Pityriasis amiantacea is an eczematous condition of the scalp in which thick, tenaciously adherent scales develop. It does not result in scarring or alopecia in most circumstances.

Pityriasis amiantacea presents as shiny, thick scales on the scalp. The scales surround and bind down tufts of hair. The condition may be localized to a small area or may involve the entire scalp. Temporary alopecia and scarring alopecia can occur due to repeated removal of hairs attached to the scales. It is a rare disease.

      A 14-year-old male patient presented with focal masses of thick, adherent, plate like, yellow-brown scales, attached to the hair shafts, predominantly affecting the fronto-parietal area and vertex of the scalp. The underlying scalp had thick, erythematous plaques with fine, non greasy, silvery-white scaling with noncicatricial alopecia. Potassium hydroxide examination of scales and hair and culture for fungus was negative.

      The disease may be secondary to any skin condition that primarily affects the scalp, including seborrheic dermatitis. Its pathogenesis remains uncertain. We aim to analyze the epidemiological and clinical profiles of patients with pityriasis amiantacea to better understand treatment responses. We identified seven cases of pityriasis amiantacea and a female predominance in a sample of 63 pediatric patients with seborrheic dermatitis followed for an average of 20.4 months. We reported a mean age of 5.9 years. Five patients were female, with a mean age of 9 years. All patients were successfully treated with topic ketoconazole.
