Hello,
I have been researching the age DQ for eczema (skin rash) and have been receiving two distinct answers. The USCGA website has stated under the age of 9 while the DoDMERB says 12. Based on website updates, I am assuming under the age of 12 has been a more recent change. Could the different branches have different standards? Also, has anyone had an experience obtaining a waiver for this issue? If so, what is the age cutoff? I only say this because around 9 years old I had mild skin irritation on my feet that my doctor diagnosed as eczema. I just wanted to be aware if this is something I have to worry about for passing the DoDMERB.
