Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a skin disorder, to include pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) and/or residual scarring/disfigurement, as further development is necessary.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to an incomplete medical examination that failed to clarify whether the Veteran has a current diagnosis of PFB separate from other skin conditions related to his in-service history of PFB.
