Solution

The correct option is A Eczema
Eczema is a term for a group of medical conditions that cause the skin to become inflamed or irritated.
No matter which part of the skin is affected, eczema is almost always itchy. Sometimes, the itching will start before the rash appears, but when it does, the rash most commonly appears on the face, back of the knees, wrists, hands, or feet. It may also affect other areas as well.
Affected areas usually appear very dry, thickened or scaly. In fair-skinned people, these areas may initially appear reddish and then turn brown. Among darker-skinned people, eczema can affect pigmentation, making the affected area lighter or darker.
