The Veteran's perianal and intra anal condyloma acuminatum has not resulted in underlying soft tissue damage, superficial scarring in an area of less than 144 square inches (929 sq. cm.), pain or frequent loss of the covering of the skin over a scar, or any disabling effects. The condition does not involve more than 5 percent of the entire body or exposed areas affected and does not require intermittent systemic therapy such as corticosteroids, phototherapy to include long-wave ultraviolet-A light (PUVA), retinoids, biologics, photochemotherapy, or other immunosuppressive drugs. Therefore, a compensable rating is denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's perianal and intra anal condyloma acuminatum does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under the applicable VA Rating Schedule due to lack of significant skin involvement and no need for systemic therapy.
