Hello,
Just got a remedial requested for eczema that I haven't had seriously since 12. I have read on this forum that you should not say that you have a condition unless you have been diagnosed with it by a doctor:
On the remedial, it asks, "Have you ever been diagnosed with a chronic or recurring skin condition, and who diagnosed you (i.e. self, parent, doctor, etc..)"
In this case, do I say "no", because I have not been diagnosed by a professional, or do I say "self" even if I have never been diagnosed?
Also, they used the words "chronic" and "recurring" in the question. If I no longer have it, do I still have to answer the question?
Lastly, if I have a bout of EXTREMELY MILD eczema about once a month, and that I usually use a cream and it goes away overnight, will that be disqualifying? Does DodMERB allow people who require occasional medication, or will I not be allowed to use medication at all?
Thank you.
