A hypertrophic scar is a thickened, wide, often raised scar that develops where skin is injured. Scars are common during the wound healing process, but a hypertrophic scar is a result of an abnormal response to a trauma or injury.

The ICD code L918 is used to code Acrochordon. An acrochordon (plural acrochorda; also known as a skin tag or fibroepithelial polyp) is a small benign tumor that forms primarily in areas where the skin forms creases, such as the neck, armpit, and groin. They may also occur on the face, usually on the eyelids.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code L91.8 and a single ICD9 code, 701.8 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Acrochorda are harmless, are typically painless and usually do not grow or change over time. Though tags up to a half-inch long have been seen, they are typically the size of a grain of rice.
Potential symptoms include persistent diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain, fever, rectal bleeding, fatigue, loss of appetite, and weight loss.
Crohn’s disease can occur at any age, but usually occurs between the ages of 15-35. The location of the Crohn’s disease, as well as any complication or manifestation, are important to code selection, as follows: K50.00 Crohn’s disease of small intestine without complication.
When you use the codes for dry AMD (H35.31xx) and wet AMD (H35.32xx), you must use the sixth character to indicate laterality as follows:
The codes for dry AMD—H35.31xx—use the seventh character to indicate staging as follows:
When is the retina considered atrophic? The Academy Preferred Practice Pattern1 defines GA as follows:
The Academy recommends that when coding, you indicate whether the GA involves the center of the fovea: Code H35.31x4 if it does and H35.31x3 if it doesn’t, with “x” indicating laterality.
The codes for wet AMD—H35.32xx—use the sixth character to indicate laterality and the seventh character to indicate staging as follows:
