Ezcsma

[DavidP]

Hi Everyone

I'm Needing some advice please if possible.

I have just passed my Test and am awaiting for a interview date

I've just read that having Ezcsma is an automatic DQ

I have it all over my arms and hands

I recently went to the doctors last week who prescribed me steroid cream

Can anyone confirm this please

Thanks

Just FYI, copying and pasting the exact same thing over and over again in different parts of a forum is a surefire way of making sure that your post gets precisely the wrong sort of attention.

Somebody who knows what they're talking about will be along at some point with an answer - have a little patience.

I just did a Google for you:

Page 3 - Eczema is on the list of medical conditions that preclude entry.

I Apologise for posting more than once I didn't think the 1st had posted

Thank you for you're reply and looking up that information

Do you know if the Navy request ur doctor records? Obviously this condition is on my file

I would strongly advise against trying to hide the condition, if that's what you're hinting at. I'm pretty sure that yes, your GP is contacted by the company that performs the medical checks and your records passed over.

Whilst not qualified to give definitive advice in this area, but nonetheless hopefully giving a bit of a pointer to manage expectations, I can confirm that so far as I'm aware, active eczema which is visual and undergoing treatment is unfortunately a bar to entry if current.

When an applicant fills out the medical questionnaire they sign a consent form which gives the Service permission to review your medical history.

If it can be managed with non-prescribed 'over the counter' medication and is considered minor with regard area affected, it is less likely to be an issue but the rough rule of thumb is the individual needs to be three years clear of treatment.

If you rock-up to a medical examination and active eczema is visually apparent, then unfortunately the individual will be found to be "medically unfit" for service.
