The Veteran's claims for service connection for fevers and a skin disability have been denied as there is no evidence of current disabilities or a link to his military service.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence of chronic fevers or a skin disability, and the Veteran has not provided credible evidence of continuity of symptoms since service.
