What is eczema, photo (what eczema looks like)
Eczema is an acute or chronic inflammation of the skin caused by bacteria, fungus, occupational hazards, and allergens. As a rule, the disease eczema or eczematous dermatitis tends to recur.
This dermatological disease can begin at any age and in any gender. The next exacerbation, especially in the absence of adequate treatment, is larger and more widespread than the previous one.
A reaction on the skin may appear in response to irritation by mechanical, physical and chemical factors. The underlying mechanism treats the formation of delayed-type hypersensitivity, in rare cases - immediate type, that is, literally a few minutes after tactile contact.
Chronic eczema and military service
Do people with chronic eczema join the army? Although eczema is not contagious or a severe pathology, it is one of the dermatological diseases for which complete exemption from military service is possible. In case of rare exacerbations, such service is possible, but with restrictions - not in all branches of the military. With frequent relapses, the patient becomes completely unfit to perform military duties. You can get such an entry on your military ID if chronic eczema worsens at least once in the last three years. Of course, a case of relapse must be confirmed by an entry in the medical history or outpatient card.
