My husband has a rash around his genitals, his rearend, and under his armpits. Plus it itches constantly. Done gone through 10 tubes of cortisone cream. He's had this going on a year and a half. Could this be Hep C that he's got ?.

Hi acoolman! Thanks for sharing your question with us, and we're sorry to hear about your husband's discomfort. Skin issues and rashes can arise when your body is fighting the hep C virus. We recommend speaking with your doctor and letting them know about how long the pain and itchiness lasts. In the meantime, cold packs may help alleviate some discomfort. Our advocate Karen also recommends some solutions, including eucerin and olive oil. I hope he starts feeling better soon! Best, Matt (Team Member)
