Benefits of Compounding Medications for Dermatology
How do compounding medications help your skin? Compounded dermatological medications clear blemishes and improve healing, keeping your skin healthy.
Our skin is the largest organ in the body. As the first line of defense, our skin is often exposed to harsh conditions or environmental factors that can affect its health, causing:
- Acne
- Allergic reactions
- Cancer
- Fungal nail infection
- Eczema
- Warts
For patients who suffer from these conditions, doctors may prescribe dermatological medications to treat their skin. However, everyone’s skin is different, and not everyone responds well to all medications. WeCare Pharmacy offers compounded dermatological treatments to manage these conditions with medications personalized to your body and health needs. Compounded medications provide access to the individualized care you need to keep your skin healthy, offering:
- Ingredients customized to match your skin
- Personalized dosages and treatments
- Uniquely blended ingredients that exclude allergy-causing ingredients
- Custom forms for easy use (creams, gels, oils, ointments, injections, or pills)
At WeCare Pharmacy, we understand that personalized healthcare is better medicine. Many patients come to us when they can’t find the right face wash or cream to treat their specific condition. Compounding pharmacy caters to your unique biological profile, offering customized medications to keep your skin clear and get you back to health.

Fungal Nail Infection
Older adults often experience fungal nail infections that cause an unsightly, uncomfortable condition in the fingers and toes. Untreated athlete’s foot can cause fungal nail infection, which includes symptoms such as:
- Brittleness of the nail
- Changes in nail shape
- Dullness with streaks of yellow or white around the nail
- Thickening of the nail
WeCare Pharmacy will work with your podiatrist (foot doctor) to treat fungal nail infections. We can combine medications with superior nail penetration to deliver treatment right to the site of the problem. Our approach includes blending antifungals such as fluconazole and terbinafine in a DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) base to penetrate the nail bed, decrease pain and inflammation, and speed healing.
Warts
Warts, small skin growths or tags, are common conditions that are typically not harmful. Common warts are transmitted by a virus and can even disappear on their own. See your doctor if your warts are:
- Painful or change color or appearance
- You’ve tried over-the-counter remedies, and warts persist
- You’re worried about how the wart looks
- Warts interfere with normal activities
- You’re not sure if the growths are warts
- You are an adult and have a sudden onset of warts
There are different kinds of warts, but they are common skin problems treated with compounding pharmacy medications. The compounding pharmacy process can combine medications to eliminate the wart with creams to soothe and help heal the skin.
Melasma
If you are pregnant, you may develop melasma, which causes brown or blue-gray discoloration on the surface of the skin. Patients with this condition often find these patches on their faces and forearms. Although the condition is harmless, it can make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable.
Melasma can also develop in non-pregnant patients and can be a recurring condition. Fair-skinned people are more likely to experience the disease, with 90% of cases occurring in women.
Melasma is non-cancerous—however, there are skin conditions that resemble melasma that can turn into cancer. See your doctor if you develop discolored patches on your skin.
Melasma has no cure, but it can be successfully treated with compounding pharmacy medications such as Florosal or a Cantharidin solution to inhibit the skin from producing dark pigmentation in the affected areas.
