The Board denied service connection for skin cancer and skin rashes as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred during active service or are otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner determined that the Veteran's claimed intertrigo is less likely than not related to service, and that his basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are less likely than not caused by TERA as an aircraft mechanic. The evidence persuasively weighs against finding a present disorder was incurred during service.
