T24.691S
ICD-10-CMCorrosion of second degree of multiple sites of right lower limb, except ankle and foot, sequela
This code signifies a second-degree chemical burn affecting multiple areas of the right lower limb, excluding the ankle and foot. It indicates that the injury is a long-term complication or residual effect of a previous corrosion event.
Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic or residual second-degree chemical burn on the right thigh, knee, or lower leg (but not the ankle or foot). This would apply to follow-up encounters for complications such as scarring, contractures, or persistent pain directly attributable to the initial corrosion.
