Abstract
We present four renal transplant patients who developed hypertrophic scars following carbon dioxide laser ablation of recalcitrant plantar warts. All of the patients were on long-term treatment with cyclosporin, which we believe to be responsible. We discuss several possible mechanisms by which cyclosporin may influence wound healing and scarring.
