The Board has granted service connection for a skin condition and denied service connection for acne. The Board also remanded other issues due to insufficient evidence or need for further examination.
The deciding factor: The Veteran had intermittent skin conditions during active duty, which the Board found sufficient to establish current disability and nexus with service.
