Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for pseudofolliculitis barbae, finding that the evidence does not support a nexus between the condition and his active military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's current PFB was less likely than not incurred in or caused by active service, considering the total potential exposure through all applicable military deployments of the Veteran and the synergistic, combined effect of all TERAs of the Veteran.
