What will they think of next?! You can now have a visit with a dermatologist for some common skin conditions from the comfort of your own home. Talk about the space age! I think we’re catching up to the Jestson’s. LOL! Yoderm is a service that provides you with a skincare consultation with a dermatologist using your computer or mobile device. It’s so easy to use. No more wasting your valuable time sitting in a dermatologist’s office waiting to be seen for common skin conditions.
The process is easy and fast. The service can be utilized in 20 different states in the US. Yoderm is mostly used for patients with acne. However, there are a few other skin conditions that can be treated on the website as well. My daughter recently used the services of Yoderm for some acne that she was having.
- She simply went to their website and set up her account.
- She was assigned a dermatologist.
- She filled out her basic health information, described her skin issues, and took pictures of her skin.
- The next day she received a written report from her dermatologist.
- The dermatologist sent her prescription into our local pharmacy and she picked it up there.
There are times when you’re too busy to get into a doctor’s office or the doctor doesn’t have a time to see you that works with your schedule. Or, perhaps you’re a little shy and/or embarrassed to go see a doctor. This is the perfect solution for you. A consultation with a board-certified dermatologist licensed in your state is $59. This price includes a consultation and written report within 24 hours of submitting your complete information (this is not covered by insurance). The doctor transmits your prescriptions to your pharmacy. Depending on your insurance company, these prescriptions may or may not be covered. In our case, her prescription was covered and we just had a co-pay.
Verdict: The entire process was pretty amazing from start to finish. My daughter filled out her consultation at 11:00 pm. By 6:30 the next morning she had her report in her hands along with the doctor sending in the prescription. The sun wasn’t even up nor was our pharmacy even open yet! It was easy to complete the paperwork. She had a written report as well as a prescription for acne medicine in her hands in less than 12 hours. She’s been using the medicine for just over a week now and her skin is clearing up beautifully! I recommend this service if you or your loved ones are having a common skin issue that you’d like to get resolved.
Using Yoderm is just like have an old-fashioned house call from the doctor. You can even stay in your pj’s if you want and nobody knows!
What do you think of this online dermatologist service? Would you use Yoderm to take care of common skin problems?

Sounds like a great service. In a lot of places, it’s hard to find a good derm, or they’re not taking new patients.

I know, so many doctors of all types don’t take new patients. Crazy! Stacie xo
Allison says
Now that’s amazing! Around here, you have to wait 6 months for an appointment with a dermatologist. This would help with those kind of scheduling problems. fabulous

Same here! You can get in to see a PA fairly easily, but not a doctor. This is a great alternative! Stacie xo

This sounds great for someone with mild acne. It’s such a wonderful time saver too.

I agree, as long as it’s a minor skin problem or something you’ve had before. Saving time is pretty important to most people these days too. Stacie xo

Wow this would have been awesome when I started seeing several dermatologist before I found the perfect one that has helped me with my adult acne and rosacea.
Stacie says
Same here! I have both of those conditions as well. Stacie xo

This sounds like an awesome service. I see my Dermatologist a few times a year already because my Eczema and my skin is so darn sensitive, but this is such a great option when you are experiencing something you’re not sure of.
Stacie says
Yes, this has been really good for us. We all still need to see a dermatologist yearly for skin checks, but this is good for in between times for sure. Stacie xo

I’d be interested to do something like this again! I tried once with a different service and they were WAY off on the assessment
Stacie says
That’s interesting. I would imagine that it could occasionally be tricky, but would be pretty straightforward most of the time. Stacie xo
