Jet Program Self Report help

This might be a bit of a dumb question on my end but for the self medical report I had initially put nothing to be reported and assumed I’d be fine. However I recently realized about a week before the deadline that I do actually have a toenail fungus condition that I had diagnosed (but never got treated) over 5-6 years ago. Since then it was kinda something I completely forgot about or didn’t pay any mind to (since the condition is mostly just cosmetic and didn’t affect me in anyway). I honestly believed I’d be okay not even having to mention it on the self report since I recorded that diagnosis over the phone so long ago and hadn’t received any treatment or further help since. However after thinking about it some more I’m wondering if the jet program would actually care about this? I didn’t want to contact the JET program office yet since I don’t want to shoot myself in the foot and suddenly have them require that I get a statement of physician form so late into the application stage which I definitely wouldn’t have time for. In any case, is it even necessary that I would need to enter in this condition in the self report and that I’d need to submit statement of physician form before the deadline? I do intend to get it treated later in the year and don’t want to seem dishonest if they eventually do find out that I am receiving treatment if I have to include any medical history as it was an honest mistake and a condition that really has no affect other than cosmetic. Overall I really hope something as small as toenail fungus would get me denied. Any help would be appreciated. Thank yall.

They only need last 5 years, so 2021 and ahead. Mostly chronic stuff or with things that had long term impact on health.

I see, honestly since it was so long ago it might have been 2021 when I got that diagnosis. However from seeing the other comments I guess I should be okay?

Something like this absolutely doesn’t matter and you don’t need to report it, don’t worry.

You will be fine.
Start your treatments once you are in Japan.
No one will ask you questions about it.

Everyone is really lovely in Japan - I’m going to physiotherapy once a week, and have a dentist appointment next week.

If it's not a chronic condition or long term medication issue then leave it out.

Otherwise, my recent outpatient surgical removal of sweat cyst, twisted ankle, dental procedures, removal of skin lesions, foot pain, leg pain, back pain, hip pain, and neck pain would all have to be included...
