Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi i have been having little small bumps under my skin appearing along various veins, which and pop up in 4 0r 5 spots along a vein and itch like a bite. A long time ago I went to give blood at the red cross when the 911 tragedy happened. I went to my doctor and he told me that I have Hep. C anti bodies. Could this have anything to do with these bumps that are going on now?
