Cyclosporin
In a study by Bencini et al, sixty-seven kidney transplants treated with cyclosporin and methylprednisolone were evaluated for the presence of dermatological manifestations.51 Only two patients had no dermatological lesions, while 80 per cent had iatrogenic lesions, 38 per cent infectious lesions, 13 per cent miscellaneous lesions, 3 per cent cancerous lesions and 28 per cent skin conditions related to their previous uraemic state. Involvement of the pilosebaceous unit was seen in most patients: hypertrichosis (60 per cent), epidermal cysts (28 per cent), pilar keratosis (21 per cent), acne (15 per cent), folliculitis (12 per cent) and sebaceous hyperplasia (10 per cent).
