Also called chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-associated pruritus), uremic pruritus is common among those with end-stage kidney disease. In fact, up to half of all patients with this disease have it.

Patients need topical anesthesia for many things, including injections, suturing, and wound cleaning. Topical anesthetics give physicians a safe, simple way to numb patients’ skin before a procedure.

The combination of benzocaine, lidocaine, and tetracaine (“BLT”) in gel form has proven to work well even for cosmetic procedures. Gel form lidocaine, adrenaline, and tetracaine (“LAT”) has also proven effective for facial and scalp lacerations.

A keloid is raised scar tissue that forms over a skin injury when the injury heals. They can feel rubbery, look shiny, and range in color from pink and red to black and dark brown.

Along with being unsightly, keloids can be itchy and moderately painful. However, compounded scar therapy medications can relieve this itchiness and pain while also smoothing the scar.

Topical medications can include a mix of caffeine, vitamin A, coconut, corticosteroids, and antihistamines. Together, these can help treat the keloid symptoms for a positive therapeutic outcome.

Often mistaken for acne, rosacea causes redness, visible blood vessels, and bumps or pimples on your face.

Caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), plantar warts are small growths that develop on the bottom of your feet. They often feel like a callus and may cause discomfort as you walk.

A topical 5% 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) cream has shown to remove all plantar warts in 19 out of 20 patients who follow a 12-week treatment plan twice daily. This makes the 5-FU option a safe, effective way to treat this condition for a positive therapeutic outcome.

Affecting up to six million women in the U.S., this condition causes dark patches or blotches on your face. Although it is painless and does not involve other health risks, it may last for decades.

This infection develops from the molluscum contagiosum (MC) virus. It spreads easily and appears as small, painless growths that can come up anywhere on your body.

A head louse is a tiny insect that feeds on human blood, most often blood from the scalp. Lice range in color from gray to brown and spread directly from someone with a lice infestation.

This common fungal infection starts between your toes as a scaly rash that itches and burns and then spreads to the top, bottom, or sides of your foot.

Affecting over 6 million Americans, alopecia is an autoimmune disorder that often causes hair loss on the scalp and other parts of the body.
