The Board denied service connection for seborrheic dermatitis of the chest and denied an increased rating for tinea manus and tinea pedis, both initially assigned a 10 percent evaluation effective from December 1994.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found no relationship between the veteran's service and his current skin conditions, including seborrheic dermatitis of the chest.
