Does Itchy Rash On Torso, Inner Thigh, Face Indicates Hep C?
I have an itchy rash on torso, inner left thigh and raised (non itchy) bumps on both sides of my face. I have had Hep C for many years and a liver biopsy 5 years ago came out excellent. Could the rash be a symptom of Hep C - meaning it's screwing w/my immune system by creating autoimmune types of symptoms?

Hi and thanks for this query.
Hep C can cause symptoms of cryoglobulinemia which may present with rash on the body. Because you have HepC, this may be a possible cause. It would be best for you to get examined and confirm this as the cause of the rash. Specific management would then be proposed and followed through.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
