Answer:

Psoriasis, option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition in which rash-like patches of skin appear on the patient's arms, legs, and back, sometimes even the patient's scalp. The rash is often pink, red, or purple in color. Other symptoms that mark this condition are fever, pruritus (or itching), skin dryness, changes in nail appearance, chills, muscle weakness, and pain.

Wheals are small swellings, like blisters or elevations following insect bites. They may cause redness and a perceived localized temperature change however, temperature is not affected systemically.

Ulcers cannot be itched because they are usually found within the body, such as the gastrointestinal tract.

Melanomas are skin cancers that do not have accompanying systemic temperature affects normally, though they may be itchy depending on the patient.

However, the disorder matching both of these symptoms is psoriasis.
