Alopecia and DODmerb

[Mom2225]

I have a Cadet ‘22 and My youngest son is a CC for 2025.
He is finished enough with his USMA application to get DODmerb information. He is scheduling his physical and filling out his forms.
I am nervous about his DODmerb because he has alopecia. Does anyone have a cadet who has alopecia? Was it an issue with DODmerb approval? He has had it since 2nd grade. He uses no treatment medically when he has a flare and is completely fine emotionally with it. He is otherwise completely healthy. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

OK: Google "DoDMERB"; Hit "Questions about the Process"; read paragraph 4................
Alopecia, in and of itself, is NOT disqualifying. BUT, because it is an immune disorder, we will want to explore there are no other underlying immune disorders or co-morbid conditions.
