I hardly have it anymore, but I've had a slight case in the past. It wasn't very serious and I dont need any treatment for it. Will it still be an Auto DQ for me? If I didnt say anything about it, they wouldnt even know I had it. There are no visual indiciation of eczema on me anymore.

You should always disclose any problems you have, because if they found out you hid something, you could get in serious trouble. But if it's no longer a problem for you, then it should not be an issue. They will do an physical exam before hand to see if you are up to it, and that will be what they decide from. The doctor will give his recommendations basiced on his review, so if he feels it won't be a problem, then they will probably be okay with it.
The best thing to do would be to call a recruiter and just ask, even anonymously if that would make you feel more comfortable. They would gladly asker any questions you have about that or anything else.
Good luck.

Don't hide it, the military will find out. Then you will be in lots of trouble. Talk to a recruiter, sometimes you can get a waiver for something.
