The response time was faster than expected, and the dermatologist’s feedback was clear. Overall, I found First Derm to be a reliable teledermatology option. Would I recommend it? Yes, especially for quick concerns, but not if you are looking for a prescription

Replied faster than expected
It’s a very helpful service! I paid for 48hr response but they got back to me in about 30hr. The issue I had was something I’d never would have been able to identify on my own since it didn’t appear as a result when googling or asking ChatGPT. Glad I used it instead of self-diagnosing!

Beyond delighted with First Derm
I’ve been struggling with a skin issue for 2 years. My Dermatologist is unreachable/expensive, and online searches yielded nothing close to what I was experiencing. Finally I got my answer! It’s been about a week, and using their recommended treatment, the issue is almost completely gone. So happy I can feel comfortable in a swimsuit.

Quick and insightful consultation
I had a rough patch of skin that, even after consulting two doctors, I couldn’t get a clear diagnosis. This was worrying me, so I turned to First Derm. The Doctor sent a detailed response back to me within two hours. This is such a nice service to have especially when it takes forever to get an appointment to see a dermatologist.

Quick and Detailed Response!
I used First Derm when I had a rash and didn’t have time to visit the doctor’s office.
I received an answer within a few hours with a quick and detiled answer and an over the counter medicine recommendation.

Extremely happy with the service
Got results back in much less than the 24 hours which I paid for which was awesome. Thanks so much. Would definitely recommend to a friend or to anybody.

FAQ: How does an online dermatology consultation with a board-certified dermatologist actually work, and what can I expect after submitting my photos?
Secure Photo Submission
Your privacy and safety come first. When you submit your photos through First Derm™, they are securely encryptedand assigned a unique case number used only for your consultation. We do not collect personal information such as your name, phone number, or exact location. Each case goes directly to our confidential medical queue, accessible only to our board-certified dermatologists. You’ll receive an instant confirmation, so you know your case has been received and is in safe hands.
Human Expert Review
Every case is carefully reviewed by a board-certified dermatologist—not artificial intelligence or automated systems. These are experienced physicians who have completed medical school, dermatology residency, and board certification. Our dermatologists approach each case with professional care and attention, examining your photos and description to assess what’s most likely happening with your skin. This human-led process ensures accuracy, compassion, and genuine medical expertise.
Fast Personalized Response
Depending on the response time you choose—8, 24, or 48 hours—you’ll receive a personalized message directly from a dermatologist. It explains what they observe, what your condition might be, and what to do next. Around 70% of users receive advice that helps them manage their concern independently, while others are guided clearly if in-person evaluation is needed. Either way, you’ll never be left uncertain about your next step.
