Hey everyone! I just got a pilot slot through ROTC and had some questions about the medical. Two things that concern me....

Allergies: I usually take a generic antihistamine and fluticasone(Flonase) only when I need it, which is usually in the summer. My question is would this be passable or waiverable?

Dry Skin: As a new born I had ectopic dermatitus. As of now I get occasionally dry skin which goes away if I put vaseline on it. Is this also passable/waivable?
 
I found out I really have no documented history/diagnosis of either. I don't remember what I put on my DoDMERB but don't they use that as a prescreening for pilots anyways? If it was a disqualifier on there, wouldn't I already know that I couldn't be a pilot?
 
If someone asks you, "Do you possibly suffer from a condition known as ectopic dermatitis, which ocassionally causes dry skin and is relieved by the application of vaseline? And do you also occasionally use an over-the-counter antihistamine to relieve mild symptoms of what may or may not be undiagnosed seasonal allergies?" Then integrity dictates you answer yes. I don't remember ever being asked that particular question, though...
