Worrying about skin problems in future medical...

[Honey&Sweety 1]

I will be preparing my medical soon. I am quite worried about my skin problems its started 2 months ago. I went to dermatologists before and Doctor said it`s nothing serious about it , this is from the change of weather, too much heat that cause rashes , and some unknown source ,might be from food or some stuff but its just common for dry season. and its not a fungus infection, she just gave me anti-itch , a Clobetasol and OILATUM SOAP for dry skin since this skin problem makes my skin so dry and flaky . It is quite okay now but still seen the scaly part. Would it be a problem? I am anxious about it now. Anybody here , underwent this problems and have done their medical, What did you do? would this be a problem during medical or may resolved to pending case? Thanks for any suggestions and advice ...God speed!!!

The point of the medical exam is to make sure you do not have any infectious disease that could threaten the health of the public. This probably would not include a dermatological problem.

Get a certification from your dermatologist if you can. I was asked about the marks some previous lesions had left and, well, the doc knew I was a doc, hence I probably knew what i was talking about.

Skin problems, unless from an infectious cause don't warrant a denial on visa interview.

What you can do for the mean time is apply the Oilatum on your moist skin, the best time to apply it is immediately after bathing and do it 2-3x a day. If Oilatum doesn't work for you, you may use 100% Petroleum jelly, Vaseline brand will do. Avoid too much sun exposure to prevent too much sweating. Apply the Clobetasol cream on clean skin once or twice a day (no more than twice a day).

That should clear your skin within 7 days...if not, consult your dermatoligist or get a second opinion.

Goodluck!

Try the aveeno soap and mositurizing cream. We have been using this since my daughter was 14 months old as she has very sensitive skin.
