@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?

I have been doing well since transplant. Thanks for asking and thanks for the information.

@gingerw. I knew we were at higher risk but I read somewhere a number of months back that we are at 200% greater risk! My favorite way to avoid sunburn is avoidance. I hate the feeling of sunscreen.

MGH has a dermatologist who specializes in post-transplant patients so I see him.
