Can a common drug stop skin from darkening after injury?

NCT ID NCT05311033

Summary

This small study tested whether a medication called tranexamic acid could prevent dark skin spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) that sometimes form after skin is injured. Researchers used a controlled method to create tiny blisters on the skin of 10 healthy men prone to this condition. They then applied the medication to see if it could stop the dark spots from developing.
