  1. Red, raised, pruritic, scaling areas on cheeks, scalp and diaper area

  2. Smooth, shiny areas on cheeks

  3. Dark, thick patches on legs

  4. White, scaly patches on scalp

The correct answer is: Red, raised, pruritic, scaling areas on cheeks, scalp and diaper area

Infantile eczema is a common skin disorder characterized by red, raised, pruritic, and scaling areas on the cheeks, scalp, and diaper area. These symptoms are not seen in the other options provided. Option B describes smooth, shiny areas on cheeks which is not a characteristic of infantile eczema. Option C describes dark, thick patches on legs which typically do not occur in infantile eczema. Option D describes white, scaly patches on the scalp which may be present in other types of eczema, but not specifically infantile eczema. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
