Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Influenza (flu) mainly causes symptoms like fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, etc., not the described skin issues.
  • Strep throat causes throat pain, fever, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, etc., not the skin manifestations here.
  • Chickenpox causes an itchy rash with blisters all over the body (usually starting on the face, scalp, chest, and back and then spreading), which matches Marc's symptoms of a red, itchy rash with blistered skin on hands and feet.
  • Athlete's foot mainly affects the feet (itching, burning, cracking, scaling between toes or on the soles) and is less likely to affect the hands in this blistered - rash form as described for the whole scenario.

Answer:

chicken pox
