Dermatology Compounding in Billings, MT
Introduction to Dermatology Compounding
The skin is the largest organ of the human body, and the most sensitive. This is also one area where each human body is unique. Is it any wonder that so many patients depend on dermatology compounding for their skin care needs? After all, there is no “one size fits all” solution to skin care, and pharmaceutical compounding can be used to produce custom treatments for those with damaged or sensitive skin.

What Are the Benefits of Dermatology Compounding?
Skin treatments can be notoriously fickle. A topical formula that works well for one patient can be ineffective for another patient with identical symptoms, or even cause a bad reaction. In some cases, a unique blend of ingredients must be formulated to achieve the desired results without any harmful side effects.
With dermatology compounding, the dosage of medication can be adjusted to meet the individual needs of the patient, as can the delivery method – whether it be an oral medication, or a topical cream or gel. The allergens and irritants that are often found in commercially available skin treatments can also be avoided.
What Conditions Can Be Treated with Dermatology Compounding?
Everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin, and that includes people with chronic conditions such as acne, psoriasis, and rosacea. We offer many effective treatments for these conditions, in addition to acute problems like diaper rash, plantar warts, skin infections such as molluscum contagiosum, and parasites such as head lice and scabies. We also have cosmetic solutions for people with photoaged skin, keloids and other forms of scarring, and pigmentation abnormalities such as vitiligo.
