Which term denotes skin inflammation?

Explanation:
Dermatitis is inflammation of the skin, presenting with redness, swelling, and often itching or vesicles, which is why it denotes skin inflammation. An ulcer is a sore from tissue loss, xerosis is abnormally dry skin, and pruritus is itching—an itch can accompany dermatitis but is a symptom, not the inflammation itself.
