Introduction

Every patient’s skin is unique, making dermatological treatment a complex and highly individualized process. Standard medications may not always provide the ideal solution, which is where compounding can offer a tailored approach. Compounding pharmacists specialize in formulating customized treatments for a wide range of skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, scarring, discoloration, psoriasis, and eczema.

Compounded medications can be formulated into various topical applications such as creams, lotions, gels, pastes, and ointments, ensuring precise treatment suited to your skin’s needs. Commonly used ingredients in these formulations include:

• Calcium channel blockers – Improve circulation and aid in healing
