there seems to be no mention of excema, closest thing is psoriasis, where if it affects less than 5% of the body mildly, its ok, so perhaps im alright banking on the fact that less than a square inch isnt even 1%

its gonna be a tense few days

Anybody got through with very small skin disorders? I had a small rash on my wrist quite recently, treated as ecxema, its gone now, but what are the chances of getting deferred? I read the information on skin diseases and its not covered atall.

Thing with rashes/eczema is it could be considered an allergy and often people with this condition have other probs... Such as allergies/asthma. I can't see why it should be a problem tho, because eczma is just dry skin. *fingers n toes crossed for you*

best read it again as it says

3.10.4. Atopic dermatitis. Conditions diagnosed as eczema should also be included in this category.

I went to the doctors in december to get some rashes on my legs and arms checked out. Doc said it was eczema. He gave me cream and now its gone. I'm not allergic to anything and don't have asthma.
Will this fcuk up my application?

If i said yes it will or i said no it won't what difference would it make to your application?

apparantly it has to have been clear for 3 years without medication before consideration, my medical has already been sent off, i know im not going to pass it due to my vaccinations, but all i can do is wait and see to be honest.

problem with mine is though, i dont believe it was excema, as i managed to kill it off with tea tree oil and not the steroidal medication i was given, tea tree oil being an antiobiotic
