Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The goal of this study is to determine if topical tranexamic acid is capable of decreasing the pigment of the dark spots left from acne bumps. The first line medication used for this often is not tolerated well by patients, and topical tranexamic acid has minimal reported side effects thus far.
