Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

the rash is and was a traveling feast for me - with the mind of its own. Itchy little blighter. Still got the upper chest & back one after 10 months on tx. The latest area of attack seems to be my eyes and scalp.

It sounds like riba rash but if its getting worse and worse I would call your doctor. Maybe if you feel bad about calling them on a holiday wait until Monday.

curel lotion seems to be working for my hubby
deleted_user
yes, it's normal and you might need a perscription if it start to itch.

i think the prescription i got was visteril which is for anxiety but also for itching....the rash just kept getting worse and worse and the itching was making me insane. another thing that helps is aveeno extra-strength night time moisturizer AND iverest extra strength poison ivy lotion.

I will have to try curel and/or aveeno. No rash but my skin is so dry and itchy. When I get out of the shower I feel like I'm gonna crack! I put layers upon layers of lotion on and it just gets absorbed like a sponge! Drink close to a gallon of water a day so its not dehydration, i dont think...
