Tricare to cover laser treatments for troops with severe shaving bumps

I am disappointed at the level of ignorance displayed by respondents of this thread. This is a serious affliction that can be a significant issue for those who suffer from the condition:

After a hair has been shaved, it begins to grow back. Curly hair tends to curl into the skin instead of straight out the follicle, leading to an inflammation reaction. PFB can make the skin look itchy and red, and in some cases, it can even look like pimples. These inflamed papules or pustules can form especially if the area becomes infected.
This is especially problematic for some men who have naturally coarse or tightly curling thick hair. Curly hair increases the likelihood of PFB by a factor of 50.[5] If left untreated over time, this can cause keloid scarring in the beard area.

Educate yourselves. Imagine having to shave with the condition shown in the image above.

I don't think this will end the waivers but it might cut down on them.

I doubt it as well. It would be unethical to force someone to have a surgical procedure performed if they could just stay on a profile for it. This would just be a benefit for those who have PB and want to reduce or treat it rather than not shaving as often.
