Seborrheic Dermatidis and the small pox vaccine?

Hello, I just have one quick question, that I have not been able to find any information on at all, will the small pox vaccine react to SB the way it will react to eczema? Are they both the same? Im looking into joining the military, and I know that this is a required vaccine, i would just like an answer. Thank you :)

Hello,
There are certain skin conditions in which small pox vaccine is contraindicated and these include eczema, chicken pox, poison ivy, seborrheic dermatitis and herpes zoster and herpes simplex. So it should be taken with care if you have seborrheic dermatitis.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
