Hi, Are these sores mainly where the sun can sihne on your body?  Do they fill with a clear fluid?  Also does your skin "tear" really easy like a very old person with thin skin?  Has your dooctor checked your iron / ferritin and if so was it very high.

I ask all these questions because if you answered yes to most of them it sounds a lot like porphyria (PCT) that can be associated with Hep C.  There is a picture of my hands in my photo section.

Good Luck

Do these sores appear on your hands, arms and face only? Are they blister-like?
