why can't i join if i have minor nasal polyps and eczema

Hi (i don't know where else to put this) i applied and got rejected for the army a while ago but i am still really interested in joining. the medical conditions that got pulled up are not bad at all and trying to get a proper check up from my gp was difficult and it never happened. i am wondering if there is anything i can do to be able to join or if i can get a check up with a military doctor who can do it properly, it has been a life goal of mine to join the army and i was extremely disappointed when i got rejected. the email i used for my recruitment thing was ted@c-s-b-s.co.uk

    Hi, on the email there should be a contact where you can appeal / about the appeals process. If you tick yes to anything in the initial medical questionnaire you will pretty much automatically be rejected. Unfortunately your own GP will be the person who has to support you. As someone who was also rejected on medical conditions (also eczema) many, many years ago, if the Army really is something that you want to do and your condition is very minor then fight it!
