Okay, so otherwise qualified and highly skilled people should not be allowed into space due to a potentially minor skin condition. Makes sense. What if they break out with severe acne on the way to the launch pad?

How severe? If the acne is really severe, yes indeed they don't go to space.

Space travel is like that. At something like $20,000,000 per person, going to a difficult work environment, being picky is important.
