Which condition is characterized by painful itching and inflammation with lesions?

Eczema is characterized by painful itching and inflammation, often accompanied by red, inflamed lesions on the skin. It is a chronic condition that can flare up due to various triggers such as allergens, irritants, or stress. The lesions associated with eczema can sometimes ooze or become crusty, and they are often accompanied by significant itching, making the condition uncomfortable for those affected.

Hives, while also itchy and potentially inflamed, are typically a result of an allergic reaction and present as raised welts rather than lesions like those seen in eczema. Psoriasis is characterized by thick, scaly patches rather than the inflammatory and itchy responses associated with eczema. Verrucae, commonly known as warts, are benign growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and do not typically present with the painful itching and inflammation that define eczema.
