Abstract

Recent changes to military medicine precipitated by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 are expected to result in civilian specialists playing a larger role in the care of our military population. Medical readiness and deployment eligibility should be taken into consideration when establishing a treatment plan for service members. This article highlights unique factors civilian dermatologists must consider when treating active-duty military patients with acne, atopic dermatitis (AD), psoriasis, dissecting cellulitis of the scalp (DCS), and lupus erythematosus (LE).
