Itching of the skin is also a common complaint reported with hepatitis C therapy. It may be localized or diffuse.
Try and change injection sites if itching develops.
Improvements with cool/wet packs to the area reduce the intensity of the itching.
Topical agents such as antihistamine creams, steroid creams, cool baths, skin lotions, medicated moisturizers, or calamine lotion should be tried.
