What causes itching and sometimes scaling or blistering of the skin?

Eczema
Psoriasis
Rosacea
Acne

The correct answer is: Eczema

Eczema is a common skin condition that can cause itching, scaling, and blistering of the skin. Some common causes of eczema include genetics, environmental triggers, and underlying skin problems such as allergies or asthma. Psoriasis, on the other hand, typically causes red, scaly patches on the skin, and is caused by an overactive immune system. While rosacea and acne can also cause skin irritation, they do not typically present with symptoms of itching or blistering. It is important to consult a medical professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan if experiencing skin issues.
