Skin conditions vary greatly from person to person, and prescribers sometimes want a strength, vehicle, or combination that is not commercially manufactured. We compound dermatology preparations to those specifications.

Our Customized Treatment Options

Our formulations cover a wide range of dermatological conditions, from common issues like acne and eczema to conditions like psoriasis and vitiligo. The conditions below are among those prescribers ask us to compound for.

Acne Treatment

Acne is a pervasive skin condition that affects individuals of all ages, manifesting as pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and cysts. These blemishes often appear on the face, back, chest, and shoulders, leading to discomfort, potential scarring, and emotional distress. Acne can be triggered by various factors, including excess oil production, clogged pores, bacteria, and hormonal imbalances.

Prescribers turn to compounding when a commercially available acne product does not match the strength, vehicle, or combination they want. Our acne formulations are compounded with agents that act on inflammation, acne-causing bacteria, or sebum production, as the prescriber selects. Acne preparations are compounded to the strength and vehicle your prescriber selects for your skin type.

Rosacea Management

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that typically manifests as persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and acne-like breakouts, primarily on the face. It can also lead to thickened skin, particularly around the nose. Rosacea flare-ups can be triggered by factors such as stress, heat, alcohol, and spicy foods, making it a challenging condition to manage.

Rosacea varies significantly from one person to another, and prescribers select agents based on the presentation. Our compounded rosacea preparations are made with the agents the prescriber specifies for redness, flare-ups, or irritation. Rosacea preparations are compounded with agents that act on inflammation and cutaneous vasculature, as prescribed.

Psoriasis and Eczema Care

Psoriasis and eczema are chronic skin conditions that cause red, itchy, and often painful patches of skin. Psoriasis is characterized by rapid skin cell turnover, leading to thick, scaly plaques. Eczema typically involves sensitive, dry skin prone to flares. Both conditions can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life, requiring long-term management strategies.

At Bayview Pharmacy, psoriasis and eczema preparations are compounded with the corticosteroid, immunomodulator, or emollient base a prescriber specifies. Prescribers commonly select agents that act on inflammation, itching, and the skin barrier.

Skin Lightening and Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation, including conditions like melasma, sunspots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, can cause uneven skin tone and dark spots that many find distressing. These issues arise when there’s an overproduction of melanin, often triggered by factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin injuries.

Prescribers sometimes request a customized strength or combination for pigmentation that has not responded to commercially available options. At Bayview Pharmacy, we compound skin lightening formulations with agents that act on melanin production, such as hydroquinone, tretinoin, tranexamic acid, and kojic acid, at the strengths the prescriber specifies.

The type of hair loss is diagnosed by your healthcare provider, who directs treatment.

We work directly with your healthcare provider to compound what they prescribe. Compounded preparations are not FDA approved and are made only on a prescriber's order.
