Abstract in brief

  • Melasma is a chronic skin condition that mainly affects women and can impact self-esteem due to its disfiguring pigmentation; various treatments exist but with mixed results.
  • The review analyzed 113 studies involving different treatments such as topical creams (especially triple combination therapy and hydroquinone), chemical peels, lasers, and oral medications like tranexamic acid, highlighting that topical treatments are generally more effective and safer.
  • While oral tranexamic acid shows promise as a systemic treatment, more research is needed to confirm its long-term safety and effectiveness, and current evidence is limited by variability in study designs.]
