Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a skin condition, to include cystic acne and tinea versicolor, for further medical opinions regarding the etiology of these conditions.
The deciding factor: Further medical opinions are needed to determine if the Veteran's cystic acne worsened during service and if his tinea versicolor is related to toxic exposures or may be a medically unexplained multisymptom chronic illness.
