The most characteristic skin signs of liver failure( of any cause, hepatitis C included) are the "angioma stellatum" or in english the spider angioma and the "hepatic palmae" this last in the hand palmary skin. None of this seems to me as your problem, because both of them are chronic when installed and the location neck and thoracal regions for the first and thenar eminence of palmar hand for te second, but of course hepatitis C can be the cause of many other cutaneous manifestations of importance and not and related more with the viral infection of "per se" than with the chronic damage degree. Anywheere I'd suggest a dermatologist consult (of course it's not urgent) to be more clear with your signs. I hope to have answered somehow your question.
