I had a skin problem in hands that was getting worse. I was desperate, I try different creams but get even worse. I used First Derm because they say their response is fast and delivered by dermatologist online and I have to say, it was better than expected. They responded me in 3 hours, telling me I had a fungal condition and recommend me a topical cream. It helped me avoid waiting lists and the accuracy of their answer and recommendation was beyond good!
‼️BEWARE‼️ if you have a skin condition that is simple like acne or eczema; I'm sure this app will be fabulous for you. I have something more extreme & spent $60 & got my answer 2 days later not in 8 hours. They told me nothing!!! Don't waste your money or your time; find another application past this one ❗ A response of I don't know would have been acceptable.
Don't bother wasting your money!! What an absolute scam. They recommended I try something I'm allergic to. You can't even reply to their messages. $60 for absolutely nothing. Google did a better job than them. When customer service was confronted they just ignore me!! Scam scam scam!
Scam!! You might as well web-md your problem. They advertise to be real doctors, yet they WILL NOT GIVE YOU A PRESCRIPTION. Only suggest over the counter remedies. I have fine lines and requested a prescription strength anti aging cream. I was told my fine lines don't make my skin look 10 years older than my actual age (I should hope not!) so just keep using sunscreen. If I was still unhappy see an in-person dermatologis. I literally just paid them $30 to be told to wear sunscreen and get botox.
Can't even use the app without paying extremely high price! Uninstalled and flagged!
App is fraud. The diagnosis is completely wrong, and there is no way to follow up after you get a wrong answer.
Very informative, very happy with this app and the dermatologist that provided information for my long term skin issue.
This application is scam, diagnosis was wrong, and it's took long time, and you can't refund you money if you don't like the result.
Been trying to get a refund. It's been almost a month, and still have not got my money back. Even left them my number.
The doctor obviously didn't actually read what I wrote, but I can see this being useful for some people.
Paid for 8 hour response and got it in 30min. Amazing!
Filed a report charged my FSA . Never received my report. Still can't get my $$ back.
Restarts every time I have to upload a second picture.
Was not obvious that this is a paid service.. After you type the description it asks you for money.. No thanks, I have free health care..
I'm trying to pay and the app keeps closing
Fast response and clear advice. Will use again if needed.
Save your money and book an appointment with a dermatologist in person. The information I was given was vague and made me very worried until I saw my derm in person. No prescriptions can be offered and I was told to see my dermatologist!
Waste. More bulls!t to buy that don't work anyway
no prescription. they tell you to find a real doctor.
Paid for 48 hours and after 2 days recieved the response "undefined".
take your child to the doctors and save yourself 60 bucks
This is as fast as my pizza delivery
Really? This app is for monetizing people's problems.
Quick yet effective review off the issue makes this a seamless smart application. I'm looking forward to hearing of the results so I can be pro active with my health.
Waste of money Don't bother using this app as they can't write prescriptions. I pretty much wasted my money for someone to tell me what I already know. I found a doctor on zocdoc instead.
Incredibly useful app, saved me a trip to the doctor and sorted out my skin problem all from the convenience of home
Great simple interface! I was able to get in contact with a dermatologist quickly.
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. Extra advice though; it might not show your problem has been answered until you click the case file. If you're waiting for an answer, click the file to check!
