What is the general term for an inflammatory condition of the skin?

  1. Carcinoma

  2. Eczema

  3. Psoriasis

  4. Dermatitis

The correct answer is: Dermatitis

Dermatitis is the correct answer because it is the general term for any type of inflammation of the skin, regardless of the specific cause or symptoms. Carcinoma refers to a type of cancer, which is not necessarily always inflammatory in nature. Eczema and psoriasis are both specific types of dermatitis with their own distinct causes and symptoms, so they are not the most general term for all inflammatory skin conditions. Therefore, D is the most accurate and comprehensive answer for the general term for an inflammatory condition of the skin.
