I did a search of this condition and found this information. Even though it lists the study date as Aug 02, 2014, I noted that the treatment protocol listed the old SOC w/Incivek, no reference to the new DAA's. Just a little more info you may find helpful!
I don't know if there is a correlation but I had three cysts on my back last year. Actually it was the same cyst that kept coming back because my pcp did not remove it all the first two times. I went to a dermatologist the last time and he got it all. I think mine was an epidermal cyst and this was before treatment. Haven't had any since. It's an interesting question and I wouldn't have even made the possibility of a connection.

I noticed a lesion on my right lower-arm and went to see a dermatologist and she biopsied it and the lab results were positive for seborrheic keratosis which is a non-cancerous skin growth. I was wondering how many of my fellow heppers have this condition and could there be an increased correlation of this condition with those afflicted with hepatitis c in relation to the general population?
