People who often have an itchy rash that cannot be absorbed by the body have hepatitis B virus?

Ask
Hello uncle! My name is Linh, about 6 years ago I got sick with hepatitis B, after a period of taking medicine and going to the hospital, the test results were not the same. The last time I went to the doctor and got the results after a blood test, I no longer have it. Since then, I haven't been to the doctor, but my son is often itchy, he eats well and often takes the form of weight gain pills, when he stops taking the medicine, he can still eat but feel that his body does not absorb. then the child is itchy. I would like to ask, people who often have an itchy rash, their body can't absorb it, do they have hepatitis B? I would like to thank the doctor.

Hello! To know exactly if you have hepatitis, you need to see a doctor so that the doctor can examine and order tests to diagnose the disease.
Sometimes itchiness is not 100% due to liver disease, if you have drug or food allergies, the weather can also cause itching.
Ideally, you should perform a health check at specialized medical facilities or hospitals under Vinmec Health System for in-depth assessments.
