This is an interesting subject that GJ brought up since David Pascoe over a year ago discussed the subject.

This is an interesting subject. The article said the recipient (as well as another patient mentioned in the article as Pomahac et al) developed rosacea 2.5 years postgraft "most likely due to excessive, long-lasting applications of clobetasol, a high-potency steroid cream known to induce rosacea." Wonder how one would separate the steroid induced rosacea from the transplant skin since probably treating with steroids is a regular feature of such procedures?
