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?

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.

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.

Previous or ongoing skin conditions

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™, each case is assigned a unique reference number used only for your consultation. We do not collect personal information such as your name, phone number, or exact location. Your case goes directly to our confidential medical queue, accessible only to our board-certified dermatologists. You will receive an instant confirmation once your case has been received.
Human expert review
Every case is carefully reviewed by a board-certified dermatologist, not an automated system. These are experienced physicians who have completed medical school, dermatology residency, and board certification. Each case is assessed with professional care and attention, examining your photos and description to determine what is most likely happening with your skin.
Fast professional response
Depending on the response time you choose, 8, 24, or 48 hours, you will receive a written professional opinion directly from a dermatologist. It explains what they observe, what your condition might be, and what to do next. Around 70% of users receive guidance that helps them manage their concern without an in-person visit. If further evaluation is needed, you will be told clearly and directed appropriately.
