Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a disease with a significant global impact, affecting approximately 2%-2.5% of the world's population. New direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have been introduced over the past few years with great success in viral eradication. The association of chronic HCV infection with a wide spectrum of cutaneous manifestations has been widely reported in the literature.
