Denied
The Board denied service connection for pseudofolliculitis barbae (skin disability) as there was no evidence of the condition during service or a nexus to service.
The deciding factor: Service connection was not warranted because the Veteran's skin disability was not shown in service and is otherwise unrelated to his active-duty service, according to the VA examiner's opinion.
