Denied
The Board denied service connection for facial scars because there is no evidence of a current disability or symptoms related to pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB).
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not have a current condition of PFB nor any visible characteristics, signs, or symptoms of facial scarring due to PFB incurred during active service.
