Denied
The Veteran's claim for a higher rating for bilateral tinea pedis was denied because the condition did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's use of topical treatments did not constitute systemic therapy, and there were no characteristic lesions or prescribed medication in the past year.
