Paronychia is a soft tissue infection around a fingernail or toenail that begins as cellulitis but that may progress to a definite abscess.
Under the current coding system, paronychia is reported with the same diagnosis code as cellulitis, which would be reported with the following codes: L03. 031: Cellulitis of the right toe.
ICD-10 Code for Local infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, unspecified- L08. 9- Codify by AAPC.
You may be able to treat mild cases of paronychia at home. Soak the infected area in warm water for about 15 minutes a few times a day. Be sure to dry the area thoroughly. Soaking the cuticle and nailbed helps pus drain from under the skin.
Paronychia is inflammation of the skin around a finger or toenail. It can be acute (< 6 weeks) or chronic (persisting > 6 weeks). Paronychia is also called whitlow. It may be associated with felon.
Paronychia is one of the most common infections of the hand. Clinically, paronychia presents as an acute or a chronic condition. It is a localized, superficial infection or abscess of the paronychial tissues of the hands or, less commonly, the feet.
Essentials. Acute paronychia usually responds well to simple drainage of the abscess without the need for systemic antimicrobials. An ingrown toenail often requires partial nail avulsion. Chronic paronychia is encountered mainly in people whose hands are repeatedly exposed to water.

Paronychia is an inflammation of the folds of tissue surrounding the nail of a toe or finger. Paronychia may be classified as either acute or chronic. The main factor associated with the development of acute paronychia is direct or indirect trauma to the cuticle or nail fold.
Foot trauma Repeatedly hurting your feet — or minor foot trauma — can damage the toes and nail plates, eventually leading to onychogryphosis. For example, wearing shoes that are too small for you every day can cause foot trauma. Onychogryphosis can also develop if you have a condition like hammer toe.
A person with mild, acute paronychia can try soaking the affected finger or toe in warm water several times a day. If symptoms do not improve, they should seek further treatment. Mild paronychia may be treatable with just a lemon and salt.
Chronic paronychia can cause changes in the affected nail. It might turn a different color or look as though it is detached or abnormally shaped. In rare cases, if the paronychia is especially severe and goes untreated, the infection can spread beyond the area of the nail.
Treatment options for acute paronychia include warm compresses; topical antibiotics, with or without corticosteroids; oral antibiotics; or surgical incision and drainage for more severe cases.
Paronychia (pair-oh-NIE-kee-ah) is a common problem that affects fingernails and toenails. It is caused by an infection of the skin around the nail. Chronic paronychia can happen after dish washing, finger sucking, trimming the cuticles too much, or frequent contact with chemicals.
The ICD code L030 is used to code Paronychia. A paronychia (/ˌpærəˈnɪkiə/; Greek: παρωνυχία from para, "around" and onukh-, "nail") is a nail disease that is an often-tender bacterial or fungal infection of the hand or foot where the nail and skin meet at the side or the base of a finger or toenail.

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 L03.019 and a single ICD9 code, 681.9 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
