BurnsFirst-degree burns affect only the outer layer of the skin. They cause pain, redness, and swelling.Second-degree burns affect both the outer and underlying layer of skin. They cause pain, redness, swelling, and blistering. ... Third-degree burns affect the deep layers of skin.
First-degree (superficial-thickness) burns — First-degree burns (also called superficial burns) involve only the top layer of skin. They are painful, dry, and red; and blanch when pressed (picture 1). These burns do not form a blister and generally heal in three to six days without any scarring.
First-degree (superficial) burns. First-degree burns affect only the outer layer of skin, the epidermis. The burn site is red, painful, dry, and has no blisters. Mild sunburn is an example.
Superficial partial-thickness burns characteristically form blisters within 24 hours between the epidermis and dermis. They are painful, red, and weeping and blanch with pressure (picture 2). These burns generally heal in 7 to 21 days, and, though scarring is unusual, pigment changes can occur.
What is a second-degree burn? Second-degree burns (also known as partial thickness burns) involve the epidermis and part of the dermis layer of skin. The burn site appears red, blistered, and may be swollen and painful.
SEQUENCING OF BURN AND RELATED CONDITION CODES Sequence first the code that reflects the highest degree of burn when more than one burn is present . When the reason for the admission or encounter is for the treatment of external multiple burns, sequence first the code that reflects the burn of the highest degree.
Z codes are a special group of codes provided in ICD-10-CM for the reporting of factors influencing health status and contact with health services. Z codes (Z00–Z99) are diagnosis codes used for situations where patients don't have a known disorder. Z codes represent reasons for encounters.
Sequence first the code that reflects the highest degree of burn when more than one burn is present . When the reason for the admission or encounter is for the treatment of external multiple burns, sequence first the code that reflects the burn of the highest degree.
Z codes are for use in any healthcare setting. Z codes may be used as either a first-listed (principal diagnosis code in the inpatient setting) or secondary code, depending on the circumstances of the encounter.
When a burn is described as infected, how many codes are needed, and how are they sequenced? Two codes are required, and the code for the burn is sequenced first.

Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
A burn is a type of injury to skin , or other tissues, caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, friction, or radiation. Burns that affect only the superficial skin layers are known as superficial or first-degree burns. When the injury extends into some of the underlying layers, it is described as a partial-thickness or second-degree burn.
