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 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 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.
The acne formulations prescribers most often ask us to compound are listed below. Each is made only on a valid prescription.
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.
The rosacea formulations prescribers most often ask us to compound are listed below. Each is made only on a valid prescription.
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.

Scars and wounds are often the result of surgery, injury, or chronic skin conditions like acne. These marks can leave behind lasting reminders that may impact both appearance and self-confidence. Wound care and scar management are directed by your healthcare provider.
At Bayview Pharmacy, scar and wound preparations are compounded with agents your prescriber selects for tissue repair and skin texture. Each is compounded to the strength and vehicle on the prescription.

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 hyperpigmentation formulations prescribers most often ask us to compound are listed below. Each is made only on a valid prescription.
Warts are benign growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). While typically harmless, they can be unsightly, uncomfortable, and resistant to treatment. Warts can appear on various parts of the body, including the hands, feet, and face, and may vary in size and shape. Warts commonly recur, and prescribers may request specific agent combinations.
At Bayview Pharmacy, wart preparations are compounded with the blistering, keratolytic, antiviral, or immune-modulating agents a prescriber selects. Cantharidin and podophyllum preparations are for application by a healthcare provider.
The wart formulations prescribers most often ask us to compound are listed below. Each is made only on a valid prescription.
Nail fungus, or onychomycosis, is a persistent fungal infection that affects the nails, leading to thickening, discoloration, and brittleness. Nail plate penetration is a known challenge in onychomycosis. Over time, untreated nail fungus can cause permanent damage to the nails and spread to other areas.
At Bayview Pharmacy, we compound antifungal preparations in vehicles a prescriber selects for nail application. Agents include itraconazole, terbinafine, fluconazole, and ciclopirox at the strengths the prescriber specifies.

Hair loss, also known as alopecia, can be a distressing condition that affects both men and women. It can impact self-esteem and overall quality of life. Hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, and underlying medical conditions. The type of hair loss is diagnosed by your healthcare provider, who directs treatment.
At Bayview Pharmacy, hair loss preparations are compounded with the agents a prescriber selects, such as minoxidil, finasteride, or dutasteride, at the strength on the prescription. Finasteride and dutasteride are prescription-only medications.
The hair loss formulations prescribers most often ask us to compound are listed below. Each is made only on a valid prescription.
Prescribers turn to compounding when a commercially available product does not match the strength, vehicle, or combination they want. Skin conditions vary from one individual to another, and the prescriber decides what is appropriate for each patient.
Our compounding pharmacy prepares formulations for dermatological conditions including acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and other skin conditions. 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.
