Rashes On Arm And Stomach, Risk Of Hepatitis C. What Do I Fear Of?

hello my name is nick and i apprentice at a tattoo shop, I have been cleaning more and more lately being deathly careful of all the hazardous materials. I am asking about a rash that seem to have just sprung up and developed on my inner left arm and on the left of my stomache working towards my belly, though i am uncertain if its actually growing towards the stomache. I know the risk of gaining hepetitus c at such a workplace and im just concerned wether this would be an early sign of such disease. is it worth going to the doctor for? i really would like to know.. also I do work full time at a foundry where im constantly exposed to wax cleaners, ic830 binders and just weird chemicals of that nature. could that be it? im mainly freaked out because of the location of these rashes so please help me out if you can... thank you
