The answer is C: Pruritus will decrease.

Explanation for each option:

A. Her rashes will decrease or resolve - This is incorrect. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that numbs the skin but does not treat the underlying cause of the rashes, such as an allergic reaction or inflammation.

B. Infection will be cured - This is incorrect. Lidocaine does not have antibacterial or antiviral properties, so it will not cure an infection.

C. Pruritus will decrease - This is correct. Lidocaine can help reduce itching (pruritus) by numbing the skin and providing temporary relief from the sensation of itching.

D. Her skin will be less dry - This is incorrect. Lidocaine does not have moisturizing properties and will not affect the dryness of the skin.

Summary: Lidocaine spray is expected to decrease pruritus (itching) by numbing the affected area, but it will not resolve rashes, cure infections, or make the skin less dry.
