Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for a higher rating for pseudofolliculitis barbae, as there was no evidence that it impacted at least 20 percent of his total body area or required systemic therapy.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's pseudofolliculitis barbae did not meet the criteria for a rating in excess of 10 percent because it covered less than 5 percent of his total body and exposed areas, and no systemic therapy was required.
