Skin specialists prescribe tranexamic acid mainly to help reduce excess skin pigmentation, especially in conditions like melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, because research shows it can slow melanin overproduction and calm skin inflammation. It may be given as oral tablets, topical formulations, or, in some cases, injections, depending on the case. Because it is not suitable for everyone and has specific safety considerations, a dermatologist decides the correct form, dose, and duration based on your skin condition and medical history. Tranexamic acid also has broader medical uses, such as controlling or preventing bleeding in various non-skin conditions. Therefore, it is strongly advised not to use it yourself.
