Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable evaluation for pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) with residual scarring as the evidence did not support a finding that his condition affected at least 5% of his body or exposed areas, and no more than topical therapy was required.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PFB affected less than 5% of his entire body and none of his exposed areas, and only required topical therapy, which did not meet the criteria for a compensable evaluation under Diagnostic Code 7806.
