hep c cleared

Hi Dr,
After a year of negative testing, i was cleared of hep c over 3 years ago after contracting hep B. Now, clear of both. My biopsy showed stage 2 scarring though. Just wondering why i still have vertical ridges in my nails? Would my liver still be healing or would it be over that?

Really? Did you have a biopsy? if so what stage fibrosis? I didn't get any discoloration only the horizontal ridges across my nails. Hope they go soonish!
