I had psoriasis n was on biological medicine b4 transplant. They thought with the immunosuppressant drugs that my flares wouldn’t come back. But they are back. Does anyone have experience with this?

    KevR I have struggled with the same thing. The only time I don’t have issues with my skin is when I’m on prednisone. Right after my transplant I was so happy that the itching was gone and my skin had cleared up but after about 6 months it returned. My dermatologist are not wanting to put me on any meds for it. It’s a pain for sure. What do your physicians say or do for you?

    I am calling them tomorrow. I started having minor flares a couple of weeks back. I will tell after I get an appointment and thanks for replying @Deb. Prior to having the Transplant I took Enbrel for almost 13 years. I’m hoping putting me back on a small dose of steroid will help.

    Please keep me updated on your course of treatment and I hope you get some relief soon.

    Talked to TC. Told me since this was a preexisting condition to see the dermatologist that was seeing me for this before transplant.
