could someone please explain why the comments about sunscreen and being in the sun? Is this post-transplant, and you need to avoid the sun?

@tsreever, Welcome to Connect. Your question is an excellent one. I am not sure which comments you are referring to, however, Yes, sun protection is necessary after transplant. Have you seen the explanation from @estrada53 which states the reasons why transplant patients need to limit, or avoid sun.

Here is some more about sunscreen protection - Groups>Transplants>Anyone have tips on sun protection? (Click on this link) https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-have-tips-on-sun-protection/

@tsreever, What brings you to Connect? Are you a Patient? Recipient? Caregiver?
