The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a higher initial rating for atopic eczematous dermatitis, finding that the evidence did not support a rating in excess of 10 percent.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's skin condition did not meet the criteria for a rating higher than 10 percent as his condition affected less than 20 to 40 percent of his body or exposed areas and did not require systemic treatment.
