Question
can constant herpes outbreak be caused by hep c virus?
Answer
No, hepatitis C is a disease of the liver, and most of the time produces no visible symptoms. Herpes, on the other hand, does produce visible signs as a skin outbreak, usually with blisters that go away after 3 to 10 days. If this is lasting longer, you should probably see your doctor to be evaluated.
