Embarrasing skin

[Blessed06]

Hello. I’m 4 years post transplant and my deceased donor kidney continues to function well and I am so grateful! My problem is skin and bone issues. Mostly skin, as I can’t find anything or anyone who can tell me why my skin is doing what it’s doing. I know that immunosuppressants are not skin friendly but the skin on the lower parts of my arms and hands is horrible!!! It is discolored and scaly and it even gets really dark at times and then at other times it’s lighter but always there. I can’t even find picture of anything simalar anywhere. Even doc ask if I’m on blood thinners and I’m not. I’m a 60 year old female and it’s so embarrassing. I know that as we get older our skin becomes thinner but this is abnormal. My skin and hands look like that of an 80 or 90 year old. I’ve been on 10 mgs of prednisone since transplant. I was recently lowered to 71/2 mgs. I’m also on Tacomalis and legitimize. If anyone has any ideas what is happening to my skin your input would be greatly appreciated

you should see dermatologist. I am sure your transplant surgeon must have advised.i was told, Side effect of immunosuppressant is skin cancer. I got mine done as soon as I heard from my doc.

Please do it soon. Protect your skint from direct sun. Best talk to your doc
