Psoriasis in the army, while deployed?
I am currently in the army, and have been deployed for 2 months now. After a week of getting here, I started to break out with psoriasis. Really bad, to were it covered almost my whole body. For the first few weeks, the medics had thought of it as just an allergy and had me on allergy medicine. Finally they had the P.A. look at it and he realized from just looking at it that it was psoriasis. He prescribed me a medicine for it, but also set me up an appointment through tri care with a civilian dermatologist. The question I have is; Whats gonna happen now that it is in my records? I have seen other people online have been med boarded for it, or stuck on a non-deployable status. Right now it is clearing up just from the medicine they gave me, is that gonna be enough? Would I end up getting redeployed back to the states? Thanks for any help to this matter
the REAL answer is that this.
if your unit and the med team inputs it into medpros you MIGHT get a 2 on your PULHES
more than likely they wont do anything like that. so..at your next PHA or the DEMOB PHA, you can mention it or not. if you do, the PHA physician will enter it into your permanent MED record.
then you MIGHT have to go to an MRB. that will take at least two years or more to even get scheduled.
at the MRB, if it a condition that is controlled well by medication, and does not affect your capacity to carry out your mos, more than likely you will be retained.
by having this in your military files you can probably be like a bunch of people and fleece the GOV for VA money when you get out.
