Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a rating higher than 10 percent for tinea versicolor because the condition affects less than 20 percent of the body and no systemic therapy was used.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the objective medical evidence from a December 2022 VA examination showing that the veteran's skin condition affected between 5 to 20 percent of her total body area, with no use of systemic therapies during this period.
