Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable evaluation for pseudofolliculitis barbae as the evidence did not show that it affected at least 5 percent of the exposed or total body areas and no more than topical therapy was required.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's PFB did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating because it affected less than 5% of his body and only required topical treatment.
