  Hi I'm currently scheduled for enlistment this November.

  I think I could possibly be prone to heat rash.

  If I got heat rash will my PES status be affected?

  I guess you'll need a specialist to deem how serious it is.

  Either you can see a specialist now or wait till you enlist and get your 11b so your fees will be subsidised.

  Lots of people get heat rash during outfield.

  I remember having to get new bottles of calamine lotion for my MOP quite frequently.

  Don't expect to get a medical downgrade unless you are unusually sensitive to sunlight.

  I see..Thanks guys I'll try to visit some specialist soon. I'm finding that I'm breathing abnormally too and can get dizzy at times. 

  Not that I'm desperate to down PES or anything lol. Just don't want to end up dead inside.
