Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a higher initial rating for his pseudofolliculitis barbae disorder, finding that the evidence did not support a rating in excess of 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed characteristic lesions involving between 5 and 20 percent of the total body or exposed areas, with no indication of systemic therapy required for treatment.
