- The patient likely has porphyria cutanea tarda, which is strongly associated with HCV → screen all patients with PCT for HCV!

- PCT is frequently associated with hepatitis C and manifests as photosensitivity with blisters and skin fragility; it may be triggered by alcohol or estrogens (e.g., OCPs)

- Do not confuse with lichen planus which is a rare, chronic inflammatory skin disease that is also associated with Hepatitis C (HCV)
