Melasma can be persistent, frustrating, and notoriously difficult to treat. But is it time for dermatologists to rethink the standard approach?

In this episode of JCMS Author Interviews, host Dr. Kirk Barber speaks with Dr. Vincent Richer and Dr. Allison Sutton about the growing case for low-dose oral tranexamic acid.

They explore where it fits alongside sunscreen, hydroquinone, topical therapies, and lasers; how to select and screen patients; the risks clinicians need to consider; and why treating a chronic condition may require moving beyond the conventional three-to-six-month window.
