Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a new examination to address the Veteran's service-connected bilateral tinea pedis/athlete's foot, specifically regarding systemic treatment and adequacy of previous examinations.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to inadequate statements on whether topical medication or corticosteroid use constitutes systemic treatment and an insufficient March 2024 VA examination that did not address dermatitis or eczema diagnoses.
