      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Block randomization based on permutation. Accordingly, 27 blocks were allocated to patients, in each block 2 from A treatment group and 2 from the B treatment group were placed. Eventually, after completion of the blocks, group A was treated with Cysteamine 5% cream and Group B treated with Tranexamic Acid Mesotherapy, Blinding description: Each person in the study will be assigned code A and B, that the researcher will only be known of the type of groups. The outcome evaluator is unaware of the groups.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Patients in this group use cysteamine 5% cream at night for 2 months, and also during a day they use a sunscreen with SPF 25% with zinc oxide 7.5% daily. Intervention 2: Intervention group: In this group, 4 mg/cc of tranexamic acid will be injected intradermally every 4 weeks, and The skin of the patient was rinsed with normal saline and then anesthetized with local anesthetic ointment (ELMA) for 40 to 60 minutes, and then, the tranexamic acid is injected at intervals of 10 mm from the involved area to three areas for full coverage of the lesion using an insulin syringe (Nidel 28J) under sterile conditions. In addition, the injectable dose will not exceed 8 mg/cc during three injections per injection. During a day they will use a sunscreen with SPF 25% with zinc oxide 7.5% daily.</i_freetext>
