Yes... and I HATE the pasty white color!!!!!!!!!! So I figured that if I wasn't so white maybe they wouldn't show up so much... got some of that self tanning/ body lotion... now half of them are browner than my skin and the other half are darker red!!!! But at least I'm not pasty white anymore. You know, I thought that by the time I got past 50, I'd have enough sense to not worry about getting a tan every summer, and be more focused on the IMPORTANT things in life.......Heck!!! I guess I'll never grow up!

Sorry, but I got a good chuckle from that....If you're anything like me, I bet those spots show up better during tx because the rest of your skin is a nice pasty white color, lol!  Oh, I remember those days...hang it there...SVR is worth it =)

Yep...I spent my early life in Florida and Puerto Rico... at the pool as much as possible, unless I was at the beach... now my skin is a mass of rough spots... all different colors... which tx seems to be making more pronounced. I was just telling my hubby that since I have reached my deductible, I may as well go to a dermatologist and get all of these thingys checked... but they were caused by years of sun, not tx.

Seborrheic keratosis is common in the general population.  I developed it after clearing the virus.  Probably due long term sun exposure as a Floridian and scuba diver/beach dweller/sea urchin kinda chick.

I now exfoliate twice a week. Makes a huge difference.  It has nothing to do with HCV, just with age, imho.
