Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for pseudofolliculitis barbae as the evidence did not show that the Veteran had PFB of at least 5 percent of the entire body and he has not been under any treatment during the last 12 months.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PFB covers less than 5% of his total body, and no systemic therapy was used to treat it in the past year.
