I believe this may be the reason (it has a potentially life-threatening reaction to the smallpox vaccine):

My little boy had eczema on his cheeks. I was not sure what method to use but I didn't want to make my boy go through any surgery treatments at this young age. Some suggested a plastic surgeon since it was in a very visible location but our family doctor recommend this natural guide.
Best Eczema Treatment?

Probably bc it's a chronic disease requiring ongoing medical care. It could be bc if the lesions are actively oozing, that the person would be more prone to infections. It could be that the disease can often go in conjunction with asthma or hay fever. It could compromise the health of the person if they are undergoing many immunizations at once as they do in the military. Dust can aggravate the condition and soldiers are exposed to dust, wool, etc.

I asked the same question awile back and the best answer i got was the army pays more and promotes the quickest. So to say the least I joined the Army. Started out at the bottom and at the begining of next month It will be my third promotion. If you like the water go navy( you live with alot of men on a boat for months at a time. If you like the air and want to fly you can do that in army marine or air foce. army and marines they have alot of jobs you dont have to go infantry.

Because getting a smallpox shot is required before a deployment.
I know my husband had to get his shot right before he boarded the plane because my son and I couldn't be exposed to the injection site (due to having eczema). A rare, but fatal complication can occur. In fact, it just happened to one family (as I said, very rare, especially because the army takes measures to prevent this from happening to families)

Perhaps, that's why... if you have eczema, you can't have a smallpox shot and therefore can't deploy?
For another poster... eczema is not contagious and is not a "sanitary" issue.

I have never heard of that. I was in the Army & knew people with worse disorders than eczema. Maybe things have changed since 1993.

no matter what branch you enter you will be living in and sharing very close quarters much of the time. Eczema will create eventual health and sanitary issues.
It is kind of like feet. Most people dont pay much attention but ask any grunt what the most important thing in the world, except his weapons, is.

Exzema is basically an allergy with various environmental triggers. I suspect the military would not want someone with this type of ailment due to the unpredictability of the onset of symptoms. They may cause the person to be unable to perform their duties which puts an entire unit at risk.
The probably don't allow people with other types of allergies with environmental triggers either.
