The Board denied an initial compensable disability rating for tinea pedis and onychomycosis, finding that the Veteran's condition did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.

The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not show characteristic lesions involving at least 5 percent, but less than 20 percent, of the entire body affected or exposed areas affected, nor did it show intermittent systemic therapy required for a total duration of less than 6 weeks over the past 12-month period.
