Dermatology

Your skin is the largest organ of your body, and you need to take care of it well. Not all conditions can be treated safely and effectively with an over-the-counter medicine or a home remedy. If you have tried these solutions for a skin concern and have not seen the results you are looking for and have taken the next step and consulted a dermatologist, then customised dermatology compounding medications are the answer to your specific dermatology management needs.

Here at Fremantle Central Pharmacy, we make customised dermatology compounding recipes to your exact specifications. You will be able to get the medication in a way that will provide you with the maximum benefit to speed healing and provide you with the relief you are seeking.

These types of personalised treatments involve more than preparing medicines as a cream (although in some cases this is the preferred method of preparation for treating certain conditions). Since we are a compounding pharmacy, our compounding pharmacists can also prepare custom topical formulations like a scalp lotion or nail lacquer, as appropriate, depending on the location of the area to be treated.

Some conditions that we routinely help treat with our dermatology specialty compounding include:

  • Acne
  • Alopecia Areata
  • Bullous Diseases
  • Cracks and Fissures
  • Eczema and Dermatitis
  • Folliculitis (Hot Tub Rash) / Pseudofolliculitis
  • Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
  • Infections / Infestations
  • Intertrigo (Rash In Body Folds)
  • Keratoderma / Ichthyosis
  • Keratosis pilaris (Chicken Skin)
  • Leg Ulcers
  • Melasma/Chloasma (Facial Pigmentation)
  • Miliaria (Sweat Rash)
  • Nappy Rash
  • Pruritis (Itching)
  • Psoriasis (General / Scalp)
  • Rosacea
  • Scabies
  • Scarring and Keloids
  • Stretch Marks
  • Topical Ultraviolet Light Therapy (PUVA)
  • Vitiligo
  • Warts and Corns

Patient preference is a factor when choosing a format for these medications as well. Some people want to have their medication prepared in a specific formulation, such as a gel as opposed to a solution. We can accommodate this type of request, and can even prepare the prescription in a manner that you find easier and more convenient to use.

The best medicines available to treat skin conditions won’t help a patient if they are not used correctly or don’t reach the area that needs to be treated. Working with a compounding pharmacy on your dermatology management needs means that patients can get the right help to ensure their skin concerns are treated effectively. Getting the correct diagnosis from the doctor is just the first step; following it up with an effective treatment plan, like ours, is the key to proper healing.

At Fremantle Central Pharmacy, we know that therapeutics in dermatology isn’t easy. More than most other medical specialties, patients with dermatological conditions need individualised care that is not usually available commercially. You need a dependable partner who can customise your medications to your exact specifications in a moment’s notice, time and time again. Let us be that partner.
