Pediatric Dermatology

Harnessing the Benefits of Compounding

At Reliant Compounded Solutions, we understand the unique challenges faced by children with dermatological conditions. Pediatric patients often require specialized care tailored to their specific needs. That’s why we offer a range of compounded solutions designed to address various dermatological conditions in children. Our compounding services provide numerous benefits, allowing healthcare providers to customize treatments, improve therapeutic outcomes, and meet the individual needs of each young patient. Below, we explore how compounding can be advantageous in addressing common pediatric dermatological conditions:

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by inflamed, scaly patches on the skin. Compounding allows healthcare providers to create customized topical formulations that incorporate medications like corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, or calcineurin inhibitors. These tailored preparations can be adjusted in strength and dosage to suit the unique requirements of pediatric patients, ensuring maximum efficacy while minimizing potential side effects.

Sample Compound: PsoriaRelief Cream

A customized topical cream containing a combination of low-dose corticosteroids and moisturizing agents to alleviate inflammation and provide relief for psoriatic lesions in children.

Eczema

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a common skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. Compounding offers the opportunity to create customized formulations that incorporate emollients, moisturizers, anti-inflammatory agents, or antihistamines. These personalized compounds can be tailored to address the severity and specific triggers of eczema in pediatric patients, promoting enhanced symptom relief and improved skin barrier function.

Sample Compound: EczemaCare Lotion

A custom-blended lotion enriched with natural moisturizers, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and soothing agents to alleviate itching, reduce redness, and restore hydration for children with eczema.

Dermatitis

Dermatitis refers to various forms of skin inflammation, such as contact dermatitis or seborrheic dermatitis. Compounding enables the formulation of specialized creams, ointments, or solutions that combine anti-inflammatory agents, emollients, and barrier enhancers. These tailored preparations can provide targeted relief, reduce itching, and help restore the skin’s natural balance.

Sample Compound: DermiRelieve Ointment

A compounded ointment featuring a combination of corticosteroids, soothing botanical extracts, and protective emollients to alleviate inflammation and itching associated with dermatitis in pediatric patients.

Molluscum

Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection characterized by small, raised bumps. Compounding allows for the creation of customized topical treatments that incorporate antiviral agents, immunomodulators, or keratolytic agents. These tailored compounds can help expedite the resolution of molluscum lesions while minimizing discomfort or scarring.

Sample Compound: MolluscareSolution

A customized topical solution containing a combination of antiviral agents and gentle exfoliating ingredients to target and eliminate molluscum contagiosum lesions in children.

Acne

Acne is a common skin condition characterized by pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Compounding allows healthcare providers to create personalized acne treatments by combining various active ingredients, such as antibiotics, retinoids, or benzoyl peroxide. These customized compounds can be adjusted to suit the patient’s skin type, severity of acne, and individual response, optimizing therapeutic outcomes.

Sample Compound: AcneClear Cream/Gel

A customized topical gel containing a tailored blend of antimicrobial agents, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and sebum-regulating components to combat acne in pediatric patients while minimizing irritation.

Skin Discoloration

Skin discoloration, such as hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, can have a significant impact on a child’s self-esteem. Compounding allows for the creation of personalized formulations that incorporate skin-lightening or pigment-stabilizing agents. These tailored compounds can help even out skin tone and restore a more uniform complexion.

Sample Compound: PigmentBalance Cream

A customized topical cream featuring a combination of skin-brightening agents, antioxidants, and hydrating ingredients to address skin discoloration in pediatric patients and promote a more balanced complexion.
By utilizing our unique compounded solutions, healthcare providers can offer children who have failed to respond to conventional medicine an alternative approach to managing their dermatological conditions. Compounding allows for personalized treatments that can be adjusted based on a child’s specific needs, ensuring maximum efficacy while minimizing potential side effects. At Reliant Compounded Solutions, we are committed to partnering with healthcare providers to provide tailored compounded solutions that improve the quality of life for pediatric patients with dermatological conditions.

At Reliant Compounded Solutions, we prioritize the safety and well-being of every patient we serve. While we strive to create customized compounded formulations to address the specific needs of pediatric patients with eczema, it is important to note that not all ingredients may be compatible with every individual.

We understand the complexities of each patient’s medical history, allergies, and sensitivities. Therefore, we advise healthcare providers to reach out to us directly for more information regarding specific ingredients, potential interactions, or any other concerns they may have. Our team of knowledgeable pharmacists can provide additional guidance and support to ensure the most suitable treatment options for their patients.
