The Board found that the veteran's current skin condition is not related to his military service and denied his claim for service connection.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that it was unlikely that the veteran's cold urticaria or seborrheic dermatitis were related to military service, based on the current knowledge of these conditions.
