Dermatend reviews and complaints

I first saw an ad for DERMATEND in Sky Mall magazine. I bought the Ultra two tube pack. I had soft raised tan moles on the ends of both eye brows. This is apparently something that runs in my family as I remember both my Uncles William and James had such growths on the ends of the eye brows. This was in 1956 when I was just eight years old. These growths were Seborrheic Keratosis.
I lightly abraded the surfaces of both growths and applied just a drop of the DERMATEND. I know I abraded the surface just enough, as when I applied the Dermatend, there was burning sensation. Nothing serious and the very slight burning sensation went away within ten minutes. Within a couple of days the growth became dark scabs and in another seven days, the scabs came off and the skin was perfectly normal in color and texture. Some month ago I had a patch of skin under my right eye that did not look right. This area itched and when I scratched the area the skin broke and the area became raw. The area would again sort of heal over but the texture of the skin did not look normal and just use a wash cloth would again make the area raw, I went to my dermatologist who told me I had sun damaged skin. He suggested the following: Do nothing, Get laser treatments which he did not do, treat with a topical cream over a period of a couple of weeks or just have him "scrap" it away. Now, I have scraped wall paper and paint off wall. The underlying walls are not damaged and scraping sounded simple and easy. Just to be sure, I asked my doctor if this was going to cause scaring? He said very little and followed up with what do you care? Will, I do, but you can do the math. I was 8 years old in 1956. The sun damaged skin is gone but I have a slight depression under my eye. Apparently, the doctor and I have a different understand of what 'SCRAP" means.
Turns out, I had four areas of skin on my left arm that also appeared to be sun damaged skin and exhibited all the same signs as the sun damaged skin on my right cheek. I read about how Christian Scientist gain popularity at the turn of the last century because they could cure Basel Cell Carcinoma using the active ingredients found in hot peppers. The preparation actually burned the cancer cells away. I believe Dermatend contains similar ingredients. I simply scraped the skin off these areas and applied the Dermatend. A thin dark scab formed over the areas and seven days later these scabs came off and the skin underneath appeared completely normal and just slightly lighter than the tanned skin surrounding these areas. Within a month I could not even locate the areas I treated and there was no depression in the skin.
I also had another area of sun damaged skin on the left side of my face between my nose and my lower eye lid. I know what you are thinking, are you serious? Well, yes, I am. Dermatend say nothing about sun damaged skin in their literature, but think back to those Christian Scientists of the early 1900's. So I used a wash cloth to remove the scaly skin and applied a small drop of Dermatend. Within a week the scab was gone and the skin was completely normal, completely smooth. For me it worked very well and I swear by it. The attached picture is the "hole" left in my right cheek that I paid $150 for.

I purchased Dermatend almost a year ago. I was so excited for the product. I thought it would finally rid me of these horrible moles on my body. I read lots of positive reviews and thought this product was made for me. And boy was I wrong. Within the first hour of me applying Dermatend, I was struck with horror. I applied Dermatend to 4 moles on my body, and worst of all, on my face as well. In a few hours, my moles were tender, red, and the surrounding skin was horribly red. I thought maybe this was supposed to happen, but was still scared inside. A few hours later, all of the moles that I had applied Dermatend to had grown in size and were painful to touch. The one on my face looked like it was in the worst of shape at the time too, which scared me to death. A week passed, and eventually the moles fell off like they were supposed to. But, they left behind pink and/or red skin in place of the moles. My face received the worst of the 5 moles I treated. A huge hole about 15cm*15cm and about 8cm deep, was created on my cheek. The other moles had raised pink skin. Every mole had experienced a different look. I thought maybe this was supposed to happen and the rest of the healing would be done in a few weeks. I was wrong, I was so so so wrong. It's almost a year later now. The hole on my face filled in with skin, for the most part, but in no way, shape or form did the skin heal. Now I am left with uneven pink and red skin in it's place. I have been applying Dermatend and ScarGuard for almost a year now, and I've seen little recovery. I've gone to dermatologist and plastic surgeons and they sadly said they can't do a thing to help with my scar, other than to cut the scar out and leave in it's place a new line scar. So now everyday, I have to apply makeup on my face. And being a male, it's even harder, because, I'm a guy, and guys don't wear makeup, and I'm not covering some small scar or something, I'm covering a huge hole on my face, all thanks to this lovely product, Dermatend. The other scars on my body are still pink and they all are raised. They have no hope for recovery either. I used to feel super confident about my body, now I'm afraid to take my shirt off, and I used to take my shirt off all the time. I feel weird around my friends and family now, I feel like a freak. I made up some lie at school as to why I have to wear makeup now because I was too afraid to tell them this story. My family and close friends that do understand the actual situation have their hearts ache for me. They feel sick for me, that I have to go through such a tough time. Going swimming is the worst. For months I've been afraid to go near water, until I found waterproof makeup, thank god, or I'd never go in a pool in public again. My body has been permanently scared by Dermatend. I wish I would have taken progressive pictures so I could sue Dermatend. They are a horrible company and carry a horrible product. Everyone that says it works is a liar. I have had nothing but horror with this product, and now I have to live with the results of this horrible product all thanks to me believing the lies about how 'wonderful Dermatend is.' I want to help those looking to purchase Dermatend. Do not do it. I now know that living with moles is a way better choice than living with these unsightly scars on my body. Having a large scar on my face is horrible because I have to apply makeup everyday now. I can't tan. I can't feel comfortable in public anymore. I don't feel good about myself anymore. I don't want you to feel the same way that I do and have to go through Hell like I have to everyday. I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from buying this horrible product. Please heed my warning, do not buy Dermatend, it will do nothing but make your life worse. This product should be removed from the market. Hopefully my scars will fade and shrink. I am hoping for the best, but I will most likely have to live with these horrendos scars for the rest of my life. Don't buy Dermatend.

Dermatend is ###. I used it 5 months ago, and I still have 3 red scars on my face. If you get this product, you are asing for scars and a lot of frustration. ### all of their salesman online, as well as the 10-15 websites they have up for this ### product. DO NOT BUY IT, AND DON'T LISTEN TO ALL THE SCAMMERS ONLINE TRYING TO SELL A ### PRODUCT. I would attach pictures, but I don't feel like taking a picture of the scars, because I don't feel like looking at them again. Just see a doctor for mole removal.
