It is true, of course that transplant patients are more susceptible to skin cancer, however, I've seen a bunch of over kill. You need to pay close attention to the sunscreen that you use, I think it might have been last year, that they found that some of the sunscreen had some bad ingredients that made just as bad as not wearing any. We didn't get a transplant to be hermits, but we should be mindful of how we go about our daily lives, enjoy your life, but live smart.

@ca426 I tend to just try to stay in the shade. We are looking into a vacation to a warm place during the winter. An essential for me is that there be shade, not a wide-open beach. We had a perfect vacation in Antigua at one point but I know now I would need to get some immunizations to go there since I am post-transplant so we may try to stay in the states.
I really hate using sunscreen. I only use it when absolutely necessary and so far, so good.
