Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for pseudofolliculitis barbae as the condition did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not show that the Veteran's pseudofolliculitis barbae more nearly approximated the criteria in the next higher rating, and there was no scarring or disfigurement of the head, face, or neck.
