The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable disability rating for onychomycosis and tinea pedis as the condition affected less than 5 percent of his total body area and was treated with topical medication.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a compensable disability rating as it did not meet the criteria for more than 5 percent of the Veteran's total body or exposed areas being affected, nor required systemic therapy.
