Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.

Hepatitis is characterised by damage to the liver cells. Some of the signs and symptoms of hepatitis are jaundice, right upper quadrant abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue etc.
Skin lesions are not very common in hepatitis. They only rarely occur.

Liver panel may be done to confirm hepatitis.

I hope that answers your question.
With kind regards,
Dr.Barani
