Solution

The correct option is C All of the above
The classic symptoms of eczema are: itching - this is the worst aspect because it can make the person scratch causing further rawness of the skin and possible infections to develop; redness - caused by extra blood flowing through the blood vessels in the skin in the affected area; a grainy appearance to the skin, caused by tiny fluid filled blisters just under the skin called vesicles; weeping when the blisters burst, either by themselves or because of scratching, and the fluid oozes on to the surface of the skin; crusts or scabs that form when the fluid dries; dry, scaly skin - this may be the result of the disease or it may also be the natural skin type of the family; dry skin can be a predisposing factor to developing eczema; pale patches of skin may appear because eczema can disturb the production of pigment which controls skin colour; lichenification - a leathery, thicker skin area in response to scratching.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
