AB Recipients  of  liver  transplants  experience  numerous  skin  conditions  that  are  related  both  to  the  state  of  immunosuppression  and  to  the  medications  necessary  for  immunosuppression.  Among  all  solid  organ  transplant  patients,  liver  transplant  recipients  require  the  least  amount  of  immunosuppression  and  often  suffer  fewer  dermatologic  complications  than  those  experienced  by  other  solid  organ  transplant  recipients.1  Nonetheless,  liver  transplant  patients  are  still  at  risk  for  skin  cancers,  infections,  and  medication-related  cutaneous  side  effects,  as  summarized  in  Table  103-1.2  Cutaneous  diseases  that  complicate  the  posttransplant  course  challenge  the  practitioner.  Atypical  and  more  severe  presentations  are  common.  As  a  result  of  the  many  cutaneous  conditions  that  may  arise,  dermatologic  care  should  be  integrated  into  the  comprehensive,  multidisciplinary  treatment  of  liver  transplant  recipients.3
