Hi @redlady65 😊
Does your dermatologist have experience managing transplant patients? My dermatologist recommended that I stay with the gold standard immune suppression meds and not adjust meds with my current situation. He put me on a weekly maintenance regimen of Fluorouracil solution (chemo solution) once a week on my scalp. Have you used Efudex, Fluorouracil, or any other chemo solution?
You should definitely discuss this with both your dermatologist and your transplant team for their thoughts. Does your dermatologist have experience managing transplant patients on immune suppression meds?

Yes, I am required to see only John Hopkins transplant, affiliated physicians. Unfortunately I have seen three separate Dermatologists due to lack of availability for continued care under one dermatologist at this time. I will speak with my transplant team doctor about this at our next appointment which will be after my surgery on April 28.
