Hi julestheo,

I have had this symptom from time to time, but not very severe. When I notice the spots, I take a fish oil capsule. For reasons that I forget now (possibling helping with renal efficiency??), this seems to help the spots.

I have the same problem but I had not considered that it may be down to the cyclosporin. I am on a shed load of hormones so I was putting it down to that. I will be interested to see other responses to this question.
