I am 6 months post transplant and am scheduled to see a dermatologist next week. I use sunscreen regularly but not sure what to expect.

@rodney9999 Because organ recipients are on immunosupressants, there seems to be a higher incident of them developing skin cancer. A visit to the dermatologist will include a visual check by that person, to check for any signs of skin cancer. They will advise you to have a yearly or even semi-annual check. Congratulations on your successful transplant! How are you feeling these days?
