The chronic, pruritic plaques that appear red in the flexural areas of the body are classic symptoms of eczema. Hemangiomas usually appear as a red or purple bump or patch on the skin, keratosis is a buildup of keratin on the skin that looks like a scaly, rough patch, and hives are raised, red welts that can appear anywhere on the body and often cause itching.
