The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an increased rating for chronic dermatitis, as the evidence did not support a rating in excess of 10 percent.

The deciding factor: Throughout the period on appeal, the Veteran's chronic dermatitis manifested at worst, in less than five percent of the entire body or less than five percent of the exposed areas affected and topical therapy constantly or near-constantly during the past 12-month period.
