title: Case report: use of topical tranexamic acid to stop localised bleeding.
abstract: A case is presented in which topical tranexamic acid was used to stop local bleeding from a nipple following piercing in a young man with haemophilia. This case, with a review of the relevant literature, highlights the use of topical tranexamic acid as part of a methodical approach to stop localised, non-massive bleeding, particularly in patients with inherited or acquired coagulopathies.
