Blister (nonthermal) of right shoulder, initial encounter

This code signifies the presence of a fluid-filled lesion, not caused by heat or cold, on the right shoulder. This blister typically results from friction, pressure, or contact with irritants, leading to a separation of skin layers.

Use this code when documenting a patient's initial presentation for a non-thermal blister located specifically on the right shoulder. This applies to cases such as friction blisters from clothing or equipment, or contact dermatitis presenting with blistering.

• Ensure the blister is explicitly documented as non-thermal and located on the right shoulder.
• Confirm this is the first time the patient is being treated for this specific injury (initial encounter).
• Do not use for burns, frostbite, or insect bites, which have their own specific codes.
