The Board has determined that the veteran's atopic dermatitis was aggravated by service, and therefore is considered to have been incurred in service.
The deciding factor: Competent evidence established that the veteran's atopic dermatitis clearly and unmistakably pre-existed her active duty service but was aggravated during service.
