LF12: The damage around the injection site doesn't seems to be healing. How long has it been since the medical center injected you with Pegasys in this arm?

I have not had Pegasys in this arm for over a month. At least.

Are you still doing the injections in the arm? My understanding is they should be in the abdomen or thighs only.  

Also, I had a very similar reaction as yours and was just on SOC, no Incivek.  Apparently, the meds and heat had triggered a case of Pityriasis rosea.  I see in your picture the red ring that looks similar to ring worm, which is also what I experienced.  It is called a "herald patch" and is one of ways a dermatogist will diagnose.  I'll include a link for more information.  My back looked very similar to yours, but my rash was limited mostly to my back and thighs.  I was miserable for a few weeks until resolved.
