Personalized Skin Care Preparations
Skin conditions vary by patient, area, and application needs. Some may require a specific strength, base, or topical form to support treatment.
At Prescription Compounds, we prepare custom dermatology medications based on a provider’s prescription. These may be used for skin infections, wounds, scars, or other dermatologic concerns when standard options aren’t the right fit.
Why Compounding Matters in Skin Care
Skin and wound care needs can differ widely. The condition, location, and sensitivities may all influence the medication choice.
Compounding allows providers to prescribe medications with the desired strength, texture, and ingredients, especially when commercial products don’t meet those needs.

How Medications Can Be Customized
Customized Strengths
Medications can be prepared in strengths that match the prescriber’s instructions when standard options are unavailable.
Topical Forms for Application Needs
Depending on the treatment, medications may be prepared as:
- Creams
- Ointments
- Gels
- Solutions or sprays
- Powders or pastes
Combination Preparations
When prescribed, compatible ingredients may be combined into a single topical medication for easier use.
Ingredient Considerations
Formulations can be adjusted to avoid certain dyes, fragrances, or preservatives when appropriate.
When Compounding May Be Considered
Custom dermatology medications may be helpful when:
- A specific strength is needed
- Standard topical forms aren’t suitable for the area
- Sensitive skin requires ingredient adjustments
- Wound or scar care requires a specific base or texture
- Medications are unavailable
- A custom option improves ease of application
Supporting Daily Skin Care Routines
Topical treatments are often part of daily care. When a medication is easier to apply and fits the treatment plan, patients are more likely to use it as directed.
Compounding helps create medications that align with both the prescription and real-world use.
Working With Prescription Compounds
We prepare each medication exactly as prescribed, considering strength, base, dosage form, and application needs for the individual patient.
