Re: itching

KoS: Did you say you were on combination treatment for your hep C? If you
are, then those patches are fairly common spots for the skin anomolies to
start, anywhere where you have had previous damage, or where the skin dries
out faster than the surrounding area. Moisten with Gold Bond, use low grade
topical steriods on the rash spots. Tx patients call it Riba Rash, although
I am not sure which of the combination meds are involved in drying. It is
cyclical.
