Ratings and reviews

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!

They didn't say I would need to pay immediately after admitting the data. They didn't write we would need to pay for the service right after taking photos. You should have provided at least one for free. There are much more helpful apps there. Waste of time..

I needed a quick review from a dermatologist, but appointments were months away. Within a few hours, I got an answer from First Derm. Clarity and guidance were exactly what I needed given my situation. Really impressed with how quick and helpful this service was!
