First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two drugs—tranexamic acid and glutathione—given as tiny skin injections to lighten dark patches left by facial burns. Sixty adults with healed burns will receive both treatments on different halves of the same scar, and doctors will track improvement over six months. The goal is to see which works better and how safe they are.
