Dermatology is the specialty of medicine that treats and diagnoses skin disorders and diseases. And since skin is the largest organ of the human body, there's a lot of ground to cover.

Dermatological problems include more than just acne. They affect people of all ages and may impact a patient's quality of life. Oftentimes, skin disorders are difficult to treat and recur over time. While traditional treatment can be effective, many patients may find more success with individualized, compounded medication therapy.

Like traditional therapies, compounded medications can help treat many skin-related problems including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, warts, fungal and viral infections, wrinkles, sun damaged skin. Essential Pharmacy Comounding's state-of-the-art equipment allows us to create medications that absorb quickly and easily into the skin and often include higher concentrations of active ingredients than traditional medications. We are always working to develop new vehicles that allow compounded medications to be dispensed in appealing gels and cream

Skin Care Treatments

Compounding allows pharmacists to develop a variety of dermatological treatments that:

• Increase circulation around wounds to promote healing
• Treat dry skin with highly effective moisturizers
• Include topical anesthetics to help relieve pain
• Include sunscreens to help minimize sun-related reactions
• Reduce the development of contact dermatitis
• Treat severe diaper rash
• Treat dry, oily, aging skin with formulas that contain exfoliants, emollients, antioxidants, and amino acids

Your Treatment Plan

The pharmacists at Essential Pharmacy Compounding suggest that you consult with your physician about the possibility of compounding for your dermatological medications. Our pharmacists and your health care provider will then work closely together to determine the most effective course of treatment for you.
