Clarus Dermatology is committed to delivering the highest level of comprehensive dermatology service to all of our patients. We provide high-value, evidence-based care using a team-based approach that tightly integrates with your primary care team. High-Value Care: What it Means for Clarus Dermatology Patients

The dollars you spend on health care are no different than any other line item in your budget; you want to make sure you’re getting the best possible return on your investment. And that return on investment includes a careful evaluation of the outcome of your visit with us. At Clarus Dermatology, we strive to provide our patients with the best possible value in the services we provide; we will do all we can to efficiently and responsibly treat your conditions.

We’re also among the leading dermatology providers in Minnesota, meaning that we have a wide range of options to help solve complex cases as well. We at Clarus are dedicated to outcomes that return our patients to healthy living without unnecessary spending of either health care dollars or valuable time. Our goal is to have our patients walk out the door feeling healthier, happier, and satisfied with the true value of the care they received. Our Care Philosophy

At Clarus Dermatology, we live our values every day. That means giving our patients not only the care they need, but the respect they deserve.

Let’s Talk Seborrheic Dermatitis!

Persistent flakes, redness, or itch around your scalp, eyebrows, or sides of your nose? You might be dealing with seborrheic dermatitis — a common skin condition.

What it is:
Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin condition that causes flaky, sometimes greasy patches — often where oil glands are most active (like the scalp, face, and chest).

What helps:
✅ Medicated shampoos with zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, or ketoconazole
✅ Gentle cleansing — avoid harsh scrubbing and exfoliants
✅ Moisturizers to protect your skin barrier
✅ Prescription treatments for more persistent cases

With the right care plan, flare-ups can be managed and your skin can stay calm, clear, and comfortable. If you’re struggling with redness or flakes that won’t go away, our dermatology team can help create a personalized treatment plan.

Warts and How They Spread in Schools

Warts are caused by a virus (HPV) and are more common in school environments than most people realize. The virus thrives in warm, damp places like locker rooms, showers, and around pools. Walking barefoot in these areas makes it easy to pick them up.

Warts can also spread by:
• Sharing towels, socks, or shoes
• Using the same sports gear or mats
• Directly touching a wart on someone else

Prevention is key:
• Always wear sandals or shower shoes in locker rooms and bathrooms
• Keep your own towel and personal items—don’t share
• Cover any existing warts with a bandage to avoid spreading them

Treatment options:
Warts don’t always go away on their own—and even if they do, it can take months or years. At Clarus Dermatology, we offer several effective treatments such as prescription-strength topicals, cryotherapy (freezing), and other in-office procedures to safely remove stubborn warts.

If you or your child is dealing with warts that aren’t improving, our providers at Clarus Dermatology can help discuss the best treatment plan. Schedule an appointment with us and take the first step to clearing those warts!

Retinoids 101: What They Are & How They Differ

Retinoids are vitamin A–derived ingredients that help improve skin texture, boost collagen, and keep pores clear. They’re some of the most powerful tools we have in dermatology for acne, anti-aging, and overall skin health, but not all retinoids are the same.

🔹 Retinol
• Over-the-counter (OTC) form
• Gentler, converts into active retinoic acid in the skin
• Great “starter” option for beginners

🔹 Retinaldehyde (Retinal)
• More potent than retinol but still OTC
• Converts one step closer to retinoic acid
• Good balance of effectiveness and tolerability

🔹 Adapalene
• Available OTC (Differin) and by prescription
• Specifically targets acne—anti-inflammatory and pore-clearing
• One of the most tolerable prescription-strength options

🔹 Tretinoin (Retinoic Acid)
• Prescription only
• The “gold standard” for acne and anti-aging
• Stronger, faster results but may cause more irritation initially

🔹 Tazarotene & Trifarotene
• Prescription only
• The most potent retinoids
• Often used for stubborn acne, psoriasis, or more advanced photoaging

All retinoids work toward the same goal, but they differ in strength, availability, and how quickly they show results. A Clarus Dermatology provider will be able to tailor a specific retinoid for your specific skin type and skin goals.
