Never heard of it. But I live in a high elevation area, so it would be helpful to me. But where did you hear about it? Is it something that the Mayo prescribed?

Hi @krsti and @rosemarya 😊
One of my favorite sources of medical information is the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
There are several comments about Nicotinamide used to help prevent squamous cell carcinoma skin cancer in kidney transplant patients. It looks like a couple of very small clinical trials had mixed conclusions.
I have a video consultation scheduled with Mayo to discuss Nicotinamide along with any other possible strategies that may help.
@krsti are you a transplant patient that have started to see some skin cancer form? Did you receive a kidney or liver?
