ICD-10 Code for Cutaneous abscess, furuncle and carbuncle- L02- Codify by AAPC.
ICD-10 code R68. 89 for Other general symptoms and signs is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
You must sequence your codes as 942.33 (3rd degree burn of the abdomen), 943.21 (2nd degree burn of the forearm), 944.11(1st degree burn of the index finger). Note: You should only code for the highest level burn when you assign multiple burns of differing degrees (severity) in the same body area.
Burn codes apply to thermal burns (except sunburns) that come from a heat source, such as fire, hot appliance, electricity and radiation. Corrosions are burns due to chemicals.
Overview. “Furuncle” is another word for a “boil.” Boils are bacterial infections of hair follicles that also involve the surrounding tissue.
A boil is a painful, pus-filled bump that forms under your skin when bacteria infect and inflame one or more of your hair follicles. A carbuncle is a cluster of boils that form a connected area of infection under the skin. Boils (furuncles) usually start as reddish or purplish, tender bumps.
L02: Cutaneous abscess, furuncle and carbuncle.

Contact with hot tap-water 1 V00-Y99#N#2021 ICD-10-CM Range V00-Y99#N#External causes of morbidity#N#Note#N#This chapter permits the classification of environmental events and circumstances as the cause of injury, and other adverse effects. Where a code from this section is applicable, it is intended that it shall be used secondary to a code from another chapter of the Classification indicating the nature of the condition. Most often, the condition will be classifiable to Chapter 19, Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes ( S00-T88 ). Other conditions that may be stated to be due to external causes are classified in Chapters I to XVIII. For these conditions, codes from Chapter 20 should be used to provide additional information as to the cause of the condition.#N#External causes of morbidity 2 X10-X19#N#2021 ICD-10-CM Range X10-X19#N#Contact with heat and hot substances#N#Type 1 Excludes#N#exposure to excessive natural heat ( X30)#N#exposure to fire and flames ( X00-X08)#N#Contact with heat and hot substances

Burn Types. A burn is tissue damage with partial or complete destruction of the skin caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, sunlight, or nuclear radiation. Proper selection of burn codes requires consideration of the location of the burn, severity, extent, and external cause in addition to laterality and encounter.
Second-degree burns indicate blistering with damage extending beyond the epidermis partially into the layer beneath it (dermis) Third-degree burns indicate full-thickness tissue loss with damage or complete destruction of both layers of skin (including hair follicles, oil glands, & sweat glands)
ICD-10 makes a distinction between burns and corrosions: Burn codes apply to thermal burns (except sunburns) that come from a heat source, such as fire, hot appliance, electricity, and radiation. Corrosions are burns due to chemicals.
According to the American Burn Association, an estimated 486,000 hospital admissions and visits to hospital emergency departments occur annually for burn evaluation and treatment in the United States.
The descriptions of codes in the T20-T28 range are first defined by an anatomical location of the body affected by burn or corrosion.
