T23.621S
ICD-10-CMCorrosion of second degree of single right finger (nail) except thumb, sequela
This code indicates a second-degree burn injury to a single finger on the right hand, excluding the thumb, where the initial injury has healed but residual effects or complications persist. This type of burn involves the epidermis and dermis, characterized by blistering, pain, and redness, with the "sequela" aspect referring to long-term issues like scarring, contractures, or chronic pain.
Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a second-degree burn to a single right finger (not the thumb) and is now presenting with a residual condition directly attributable to that past injury. This includes scenarios where the patient is being treated for scar revision, limited range of motion, or persistent nerve damage resulting from the original burn.
