I can't say I've encountered that, but then again I use sunscreen and always wear a hat or cap if I'm going to be out in the sun for any longer than a few minutes. I do sometimes feel like my skin is extra thin.. not that it's burning or anything, but I am a bit paranoid re skin cancer - specially because I love to walk outside for exercise, so I'm all about the hats, the sunscreen and long sleeves!

you can get more tan only because the antirejection meds make you more sensitive to the sun...but typically I think people get darker when they are on dialysis...I know my skin did! Of course I am already a brown skin gal!

It's not just the antirejection meds.

For the first 6 months or so post transplant, I was also on the antibiotic Bactrim.  And that also increases sensitivity to the sun.
