Hi, my brother is also suffering from hepatitis C and he had vasculitis too. Vasculitis is inflammation of blood vessels and it is one of the complications which hepatitis C may cause. It is characterized by burning pain and inflammation of the skin above blood vessel which is affected. Most common therapy is corticosteroid therapy or cyclosporine therapy.
