Psoriasis & Eczema Treatment
Personalized Inflammatory Skin Condition Management — customized formulations designed to treat chronic psoriasis and eczema through targeted anti-inflammatory therapy, barrier repair, and precision dosing.
What Are Psoriasis & Eczema?
Psoriasis and eczema are chronic inflammatory skin conditions affecting millions of individuals worldwide. While they share symptoms such as redness, itching, and inflammation, each has distinct underlying mechanisms requiring tailored treatment approaches.
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disorder characterized by accelerated skin cell turnover (3–4 days vs. a normal 28-day cycle), leading to thick, scaly plaques. This condition involves dysregulated Th17 and Th1 immune pathways, resulting in chronic inflammation and abnormal keratinocyte activity.
Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) primarily results from skin barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and heightened trigger sensitivity. Patients often experience dry, itchy, inflamed skin prone to flares caused by allergens, irritants, climate changes, or stress.
At Rock Ridge Pharmacy, we compound customized anti-inflammatory treatments—including creams, ointments, gels, solutions, and foams—to meet each patient's unique condition severity, body area needs, and provider-directed therapeutic plan.
Top Benefits of Using Compounded Psoriasis & Eczema Treatments
Compounded inflammatory skin treatments offer a personalized, highly targeted approach for patients with psoriasis and eczema. These therapies are trusted by dermatologists for treatment-resistant or complex cases requiring specialized ingredient combinations and advanced skin barrier support.
Targeted Multi-Mechanism Action
Compounded formulations can combine corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, calcineurin inhibitors, and barrier-repair agents into a single preparation—reducing inflammation, restoring barrier integrity, and improving therapeutic outcomes.
Customized Potency & Safety Profiles
Strengths and ingredient combinations can be precisely adjusted based on body location, disease severity, and patient age—helping minimize steroid atrophy and other side effects.
Specialized Vehicle Systems
Choose from barrier-repair ointments, moisturizing creams, penetration-enhancing gels, or foam preparations depending on skin needs, affected areas, and lifestyle preferences.
Steroid-Sparing Combination Therapies
Combine low-potency steroids with vitamin D analogs, calcineurin inhibitors, or botanically derived actives to reduce steroid dependency and support long-term skin health.
Pediatric & Sensitive Area Formulations
Create gentle, age-appropriate formulations for children or for delicate areas such as the face, eyelids, and intertriginous folds, where commercial medications may be too strong.
Enhanced Patient Compliance
Combining multiple active ingredients into a single preparation simplifies treatment regimens—boosting adherence for chronic, long-term inflammatory skin conditions.

How Psoriasis & Eczema Treatment Protocols Work
Compounded treatments for psoriasis and eczema follow evidence-based dermatology protocols designed to reduce inflammation, restore skin barrier integrity, and manage long-term flare cycles. Personalized compounding allows each product to be matched to the patient’s condition severity, skin sensitivity, and treatment goals.
Step 1: Accurate Diagnosis & Subtype Identification
Treatment begins with identifying whether the patient has psoriasis, eczema, or overlapping inflammatory patterns. Dermatologists assess lesion characteristics, distribution, triggers, and skin barrier function before selecting an appropriate compounded formulation.
Step 2: Gradual Introduction of Anti-Inflammatory Agents
Most regimens begin with controlled introduction of corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, vitamin D analogs, or combination therapy. This helps decrease inflammatory activity and restore more normal cellular turnover.
Step 3: Barrier Support & Flare Prevention
Long-term success requires strengthening the skin barrier using ceramide-rich bases, occlusive ointments, and custom moisturizers. This reduces flare frequency and improves sensitivity to environmental triggers.
Step 4: Maintenance & Long-Term Management
After stabilization, compounded formulations shift to maintenance-strength dosing with reduced steroid exposure and ongoing corrective ingredients. Dermatology providers adjust the regimen every 6–12 weeks based on response.
How Psoriasis & Eczema Treatment Protocols Work
Compounded psoriasis and eczema treatments are widely used in dermatology to provide personalized inflammatory skin management. According to established clinical guidelines, topical anti-inflammatory medications are most effective when applied to slightly damp skin to enhance penetration and therapeutic effectiveness.
Most treatment protocols follow a step-therapy approach—beginning with appropriate-potency medications and adjusting based on response—allowing patients to achieve optimal control while minimizing risks such as steroid atrophy or barrier disruption.
Comprehensive treatment also includes trigger avoidance, stress management, moisturization routines, and lifestyle modifications. Dermatologists often integrate compounded medications with phototherapy or advanced skincare regimens to prevent flare-ups and maintain remission.
Regular follow-up appointments ensure treatment optimization, early detection of side effects, and proper potency adjustments. These evidence-based practices align with American Academy of Dermatology guidelines for chronic inflammatory skin condition management.
At Rock Ridge Pharmacy, our compounded psoriasis & eczema medications include ointments, creams, gels, solutions, and foams, each selected based on the patient’s condition type, affected body area, and provider-directed treatment plan.
Integrating Compounded Treatments into Comprehensive Psoriasis & Eczema Care
At Rock Ridge Pharmacy, we collaborate with dermatology practitioners to create customized anti-inflammatory treatment regimens based on individual disease patterns, treatment history, and lifestyle goals. These protocols integrate topical therapies with barrier repair, pH-optimized bases, and ingredient combinations designed for optimal penetration and minimal irritation.
By aligning personalized compounding with evidence-based inflammatory skin disease management, we help patients achieve improved disease control, reduced flare frequency, and long-term skin barrier recovery.

Is Compounded Psoriasis & Eczema Treatment Safe?
Common and Rare Side Effects Explained
When using compounded psoriasis and eczema medications, it’s important to understand potential side effects and safety considerations. While these treatments are generally well-tolerated when properly formulated and monitored, some individuals may experience treatment-related effects requiring attention or regimen adjustment.
Topical corticosteroids may cause common side effects such as skin thinning (atrophy), striae (stretch marks), easy bruising, or contact dermatitis from the vehicle base. These effects are dose- and duration-dependent and more likely with high-potency formulations or prolonged use on sensitive areas.
Less commonly, potent corticosteroid use over large surface areas may lead to systemic absorption, including hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression. This highlights the importance of appropriate potency selection and regular monitoring under dermatology supervision.
Calcineurin inhibitors may cause temporary burning or stinging that typically improves with continued use. Vitamin D analogs can occasionally cause irritation or, rarely, hypercalcemia if overused.
Proper Storage of Compounded Psoriasis & Eczema Medications
Store anti-inflammatory compounds at room temperature (68°F–77°F) in a cool, dry place, protected from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly sealed in their original packaging to prevent contamination and maintain potency. Do not freeze or refrigerate unless specifically instructed, as temperature changes may alter medication stability and consistency. Always store out of reach of children and pets, and use clean hands or applicators to avoid introducing bacteria. If you notice changes in color, texture, separation, or odor, contact our pharmacists immediately for evaluation.
