Blister (nonthermal) of breast, right breast, sequela

This code signifies a non-burn related blister located on the right breast, representing a late effect or complication of an earlier injury or condition. This indicates that the blister is not a new, acute event but rather a persistent or residual issue stemming from a prior insult.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a non-thermal blister on their right breast that is a long-term consequence of a previous injury, infection, or other dermatological condition. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the initial cause has resolved, but the blister remains as a sequela.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the blister is on the right breast and is a sequela, not an acute injury.
• Always code the underlying cause of the original injury or condition that led to the blister, if known and still relevant for the encounter.
• Verify the blister is explicitly documented as non-thermal to differentiate from burn-related blisters.
