The ICD code E039 is used to code Hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism, often called underactive thyroid or low thyroid and sometimes hypothyreosis, is a common disorder of the endocrine system in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone.
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS or acne inversa) is a chronic skin condition that causes painful red abscesses in the groin and armpits that may drain foul-smelling pus. Treatment options include weight loss, smoking cessation, topical antibiotics, and avoidance of tight-fitting underwear.

CPT® Code 11450 in section: Excision of skin and subcutaneous tissue for hidradenitis, axillary.
Hidradenitis suppurativa (hi-drad-uh-NIE-tis sup-yoo-ruh-TIE-vuh) is a condition that causes small, painful lumps to form under the skin. The lumps usually develop in areas where your skin rubs together, such as the armpits, groin, buttocks and breasts.
Hidradenitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by recurrent nodules and abscesses, typically of apocrine gland-bearing skin. Lesions can progress to sinus tracts and fistulae, and, when healed, can lead to severe scarring and fibrosis.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a painful, long-term skin condition that causes abscesses and scarring on the skin. The exact cause of hidradenitis suppurativa is unknown, but it occurs near hair follicles where there are sweat glands, usually around the groin, bottom, breasts and armpits.
Incision and drainage. Surgical drainage is no longer considered an effective option for treating hidradenitis suppurativa. The method might be considered to provide short-term pain relief, but afterward, sores usually flare again.
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a skin condition that occurs in the groin, armpits, breasts, and abdominal skin folds in which inflamed reddish bumps occur and are often called “boils.” The lesions are recurrent and are extremely painful, appear suddenly, eventually open up and drain.
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin disease. It causes painful, boil-like lumps that form under the skin. It often affects areas where the skin rubs together, such as your armpits and groin.
Tender, deep nodule(s) appears The first sign of HS is often a painful spot that looks like a deep pimple, acne cyst, or boil. This spot often appears on an armpit (as shown here) or in the groin area. Some people develop a spot on their buttocks or inner thigh.
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a common (though rarely diagnosed), chronic skin disease characterized by clusters of abscesses or subcutaneous boil-like "infections" (oftentimes free of actual bacteria) that most commonly affects apocrine sweat gland bearing areas, such as the underarms, under the breasts, inner thighs, groin and buttocks.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 705.83 was previously used, L73.2 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
It is noted that the subcutaneous tissue is infected, as well. Proper coding is: L73.2 (to report the hidradenitis suppurativa) L08.8 Other specified local infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (to report the infection of the subcutaneous tissue) 11450-LT (to report the excision procedure on the left arm)
Women are three times more likely to be diagnosed with this condition than men. A diagnosis of hidradenitis suppurativa requires the presence of: Typical lesions: deep painful nodules, abscesses, draining sinuses, scarring, etc.; Located in axillae, groin, perineal and perianal regions, buttocks, mammary folds; and.
Signs and Symptoms Lead to Diagnosis. Hidradenitis suppurativa may first appear as a pimple, cyst, or boil. As the condition worsens, the bumps grow deep into the skin and may become painful. The bumps can rupture, leaking foul-smelling, blood-tinged pus. As the bumps heal, they can cause scarring of the skin, which shows as tunnel-like tracks.
The lesions are located in both the left and right axilla areas. Proper coding is: As shown here, diagnosis coding for hidradenitis suppurativa and treatment coding relies on clear and concise documentation of the signs and symptoms, location, severity, and complications.
