Granuloma Annualare

Anyone else been diagnosed with this skin disorder?  If so did the Hep C treatment get rid of it?  From what I have read it can be directly related to liver or kidney disorder.  This is what led me to push my dermatolgist to test me for liver issues. It was first noticed last August, started with a small patch of red bumps.  I have it all over now.  This is under the skin and looks like hives.

I was diagnosed with this condition before I even knew I had Hep C. I dont remember what I used for it but it eventually went away.  I do remember a cream and them taking a biopsy and it being nothing, but that's about it.
