No, this is a pre-existing medical condition and if you get into the military and found that this was pre-existing you will be discharged without any benefits. If you are in the military and have developed Asthma you will be Medically Boarded to see the severity of the disease...and wither you stay in or not is up to the Medical Board.

∙ 14y agoLike many things in life, it depends on how severe it is and how does it affect your daily acitivities. Put yourself in the position of a medical officer reviewing your medical record. Will this condition (any condition) affect this person in an environment where there is limited medical care? Will it affect his/her performance in the field environment? If the answer is yes or probably yes then you are probably not a good candidate to joint the military services unless you have a critical skill they need.
Now to answer your question, most people with psoriasis have relative mild disease and are readily controlled with medications. It shouldn't be an issue for these people in the services. I have seen patient with very severe psoriasis where they had be let go from the services.
If your disease is not serious then you can join. Try some herbs to reduce psoriasis.

Can you get an Air Force medical waiver if you are below minimum weight?
If you're below the Air Force's minimum weight but you're healthy enough to enlist otherwise, enroll in a gym on a mass- and strength-building program. - - - - - no, because the air force has more then enough recruits that do meet their standards. The army has way too few so they are more willing to work with people. you would have to get up to the weight in a year if you did get a waiver.

What form is the air force shaving waiver?
AF Form 469 is not correct. The AF Form 469 is used to document what duty restrictions an AF member has due to a medical condition as defined by a medical provider but shaving waivers are explicitly not allowed to be documented on the AF Form 469. A shaving waiver must be documented on a seperate form and this waiver can only be written a medical provider. The Local Medical Treatment Facility is responsible for setting up their local policy. Here is the kicker. Even though a Doctor gives a member a shaving waiver this is only a "medical recommendation" and the members Unit Commander has the final approval authority. In addition the waiver can not be "permanent" and the patient must be evaluated hands on.
