any thoughts on waiver possibility of eczema being treated by dupixent?
any thoughts on waiver possibility of eczema being treated by dupixent?
It was mild most of the time and bad at one time (past spring), hence parent decided to go with Dupixent and started in last summer. Would be convincing to stop it now and see how it will go? and prove it is "mild"?

I would do that immediately ... find a drug that they allow and get that one.

As @GoCubbies, indicated above, it is really the condition and not medicine which is the issue. At this stage of the game, I would be hesitant to start experimenting with other medications in the hope that it might help convince the waiver authorities that the condition is mild enough to be waiverable. Has NROTC or DoDMERB contacted you regarding additional information needed for the waiver assessment?
Thank you all for replying. No, not being contacted by SA/DoDMERG for AMI yet. Worrying this would be the shop stopper...as a sad father now, I should've consulted expert before suggesting dupixent while ago and continue with the cream solution

Sir... you never know. If you haven't word from DODMERB about how USNA and AFROTC dispositioned the exam, then you're still good. However, having been on this forum for just over a year now, I've seen eczema to be the one of a handful of conditions the services are really concerned about. You are correct, if USAFA DQ'ed, then USNA and AFROTC will most likely DQ also. Eczema is 4-letter word somehow. When the medical reviewer sees the word "eczema" , then the ding-ding-ding starts to sound. Assuming Dupixent was written on the DODMERB exam form, then the double ding-ding-ding goes off.
I think the best that can happen is the medical records reflect mild eczema, the distribution around the body is minimal, and lesions resolve with OTC hydrocortisone cream.
Hopefully, this will go in your favor. Please keep the forum updated because you won't be the last applicant to have this issue and others can use as a data point.
