T23.542D
ICD-10-CMCorrosion of first degree of multiple left fingers (nail), including thumb, subsequent encounter
This diagnosis indicates a first-degree corrosion injury affecting multiple fingers, including the thumb, on the patient's left hand, specifically involving the nail or nail bed. A first-degree corrosion is characterized by erythema and mild pain, similar to a first-degree burn, but caused by chemical exposure.
This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a superficial chemical burn to the nails of multiple left fingers, including the thumb. This includes situations such as wound checks, dressing changes, or medication adjustments for the initial injury.
