The veteran's service connection claim for eczema was denied. His cystic acne of the face, back, chest, shoulder and left leg is currently rated at 30%. The residuals of his injury to the right index finger are also rated at 10%.

The deciding factor: The VA examiner found no relationship between the veteran's eczema and his service-connected cystic acne. The VA examination did not find current manifestations of the service-connected cystic acne on the left leg, but rather found that the skin disorder of the right leg was related to the skin condition of the left leg.
