My son has been accepted into the prep school and will be playing football, but learned today that he has been disqualified for eczema. He answered the medical paperwork correctly, and said he had it at birth.
He is 18 now and has not had an outbreak since grade school. Below is the information from the Medical Standards for Appointments.
b. Current or history of atopic dermatitis (691) or eczema (692.9) after the 12th birthday.
(1) Atopic Dermatitis. Active or history of residual or recurrent lesions in characteristic areas (face, neck, antecubital and or popliteal fossae, occasionally wrists and hands).
(2) Non-Specific Dermatitis. Current or history of recurrent or chronic non-specific dermatitis to include contact (692) (irritant or allergic), or dyshidrotic dermatitis (705.81) requiring more than treatment with over the counter medications.
It states after the 12th birthday....so is it possible he will receive a waiver? Has anyone seen a waiver granted for this if it was prior to 12th birthday?
Thanks for the feedback..
