Hepatitis C is a viral infection.  The symptoms are usually flu like.  A rash wouldn't be confirmation that you've been exposed to the hepatitis C Virus.
If you are concerned....get tested for Hepatitis C.   This would be the only way to tell for sure.  Remember, that if you test positive for Hepatitis C you will be required to get a viral load test to confirm you do indeed have Hepatitis C.  25% on those infected with Hepatitis C fight off the virus and on test positive for Hepatitis C antibodies (no viral load present).

Best to you
