Sounds like an allergic reaction. Take some Benadryl.   If your taking a shower before bed that could contribute to itching skin.   Hot feet promotes iching.   If this is ongoing then you should see your doctor and get relief.

I have that too.  Its been better since on treatment but I think its part of the Hep C. That itching will drive you crazy. Mine sometimes wakes me up in the middle of the night. The only thing that helps me is to take an antihistamine before going to bed. I take 10mg of a generic benedryl.
