Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Are they dark patches??? Mine are brown spots and yes its all over the legs in back, feet and swelling too, just fluid retention -- Rash on ankles lower calves and feet Ever since I got off treatment ( did not clear, geno 1a) I have been getting a rash on ankles lower calves and feet. Occaisonally accompanied with slight swelling. Have had major physical and no circulation problems and been to supposedly a great dermatologist and she did biopsy and has no clue. Is this a side effect of Hepc or something the treatment may have caused and any suggestions on treatment. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Mine aren't brown spots. My rash started along the sides of my body, like under my arms down the side of my ribs. It is a red, scaly rash, that itches quite badly. Now, the rash is moving to my butt, and down my legs and arms. Boy, bet I'll be a sight for sore eyes before too long. So far, I'm taking OleDog's advise, and rubbing a thin layer of vaseline on the rash all over. Just have to wear old clothes though. Good Luck w/yours and if you find out what it is, please inform. Have a wonderful Christmas and a Healthy New Year!!!!! Kat Hope for Hep C Foundation wrote: Are they dark patches???

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Mine are bright red dots that tingle or itch.
