Doctor appointments with kids are the worst. Keeping them entertained and out of everything while you wait is exhausting, I always forget to ask questions, and I end up catching maybe half of what the doctor says because I’m so distracted.
So when I found YoDerm, I had to try it. YoDerm is a web service that connects you with U.S. board-certified dermatologists so you can have a dermatology visit from home. You send photos and information, and the doctor creates a personalized treatment plan online. It’s fast, convenient, and affordable.
Here’s how my experience went. Setting up my account was quick and simple. They asked for:
– Prescription insurance and preferred pharmacy
– Medical history (allergies, current meds, pregnancy or nursing)
– What skin issues I was having
– Photos of my skin (front and both sides of my face and any other concern areas)
After I submitted everything, they told me the doctor would review my info and create a treatment plan. I was surprised to get an email back in under an hour. When I logged into my YoDerm account, I already had a diagnosis and treatment plan, and my prescriptions had been sent to my pharmacy with refills. The plan was clear, the diagnosis was explained well, and it was easy to message the doctor with questions. He even addressed my breastfeeding concerns (though I still double-check with my pharmacist). I can also schedule future consults on my own time from home.
Each consultation costs $59, which is similar to many co-pays for specialists. If you want to try YoDerm, you can use my referral link below to save $10 on your first consultation (I’ll get a $10 bonus too).

Overall, I was impressed by how easy and thorough the service was. I liked how simple it was to communicate with the doctor and submit information. For very serious issues like an infection I’d still go in person, but for acne, wrinkles, and dermatitis (my concerns), this was a perfect, convenient solution.
