Can I join the Army if I have Psoriasis?

Question

I would like to join the army,but i have a small path of psoriasis behind my ears. Would i still be eligible for the Army?

Answer 1

Current or history of psoriasis is disqualifying for enlistment or appointment in the armed forces.

Answer 2

I had a 13 year history of psoriasis, though I was in good health otherwise. But these severe large, thick and scaly excoriated plaques on my neck, ears, trunk and limbs ruined the way I was leading my life. I would be with red, inflamed itchy skin for most part of the year and these silvery scales would seem to be erupting without any reason. To make matters worse, blisters would appear over already red and itching skin. It was living hell.

I was treated with various options but nothing seemed to be working. Some of the treatments that I underwent in this depressing period of 13 years included tar preparation, tropical steroids and anthralin. I was also given light therapy many times but everything I tried would give me temporary relief.

And soon, after a few days I would be plagued with the situation again. In one of those moments when I was completely lost I stumbled upon this website just by chance. I read it and felt that as if someone had put the story my life on this web page. I was thoroughly convinced that if ANYONE can cure me of condition, it would be you.

And was I right, or what. I started recovering within 3 days of starting this treatment. Something that had become a painful part of me for 13 years was actually getting healed! My ears are healed and my neck is smooth again!. I am a month into the treatment and I have never felt better in my life!

Answer 3

Cure psoriasis starting today - even if your doctor or dermatologist says "it's impossible!"
I've just followed a guide called psoriasis free for life that completely cured me of this debilitating and embarrassing disease in less than a month!
Remember, this will not only treat the symptoms that you do see:
the red, inflamed itchy skin.
The silvery scales that seem to erupt for no reason.
The burning or bleeding that occurs around your joints.
The cracking, oozing and painful patches on your skin.
But it also treats the underlying cause of psoriasis - the part you don't see - the actual immune system deficiency that causes these itchy patches to appear and scale over.

Ok, i just went through this whole process. The only problem is, they wont stop you from getting in for having psoriasis, but you having that gives them enough reason to pull your medical records, and they'll most likely get you on something else. When you go to the MEPS station, the Marines play whats called the "no" game. Every question they ask you, have you ever been hospitalized, have you ever had the flu, chickenpox, back pain, stuff like that, say no to all of it. It is their job at the MEPS station to DQ you from getting into the military, so if I was you I just wouldnt mention the rash, and if they find it, then they find it.


P.S. The people there will tell you that if you lie to them that you are going to get a court martial, and 5 years in prison, thats not true, they definently don't really care all that much.

Yes. the doctors will look at it and as long as it is not something serious, like skin cancer, you are fine. There are people with a lot more serious issues that can get in. You may just need a waiver. Those are very routine.

They are so desperate I'm sure they would take anyone with just about any disability.
