The skin issues we have in later life is mostly due to the skin damage we experienced over many years. Immunosuppressants like Tacrolimus make us more vulnerable to melanoma but they don't cause it.

Long term use of immune suppression meds significantly increase the risk of skin cancers especially squamous and basal cell. Immune suppression also can allow the squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell to get aggressive and invasive very quickly.
