Minor eczema
20 yr/o M, Want to join Armed Forces, healthy in every way except i have minor eczema on inside of elbows. It doesn't affect me at all, i don't need cream on it, wouldnt even know it was there if it was same colour/feel as rest of skin. It itches every now and then but can easily be ignored, nothing more than when any other part of the body itches.
Does it really stop me from joining all positions in all armed forces?

No I don't think this will stop you from joining the armed forces.
http://www.army.mod.uk/documents/general/bgn_ri15_medical_screening.pdf On page 3 it says:
4. Basic medical requirements: Medical conditions that preclude entry:
- Skin disorders Chronic eczema or dermatitis. Severe psoriasis. Severe acne.
What you've described does not sound bad at all. I don't think this will be a problem but once you have your medical test, the doctor will determine if it will prevent you from being able yo join.
