Superficial dermal burns are initially the most painful. Even the slightest change in the air currents moving past the exposed superficial dermis causes a patient to experience excruciating pain. Without the protective covering of the epidermis, nerve endings are sensitized and exposed to stimulation.
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.

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.
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.
The descriptions of codes in the T20-T28 range are first defined by an anatomical location of the body affected by burn or corrosion.
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)
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.
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.

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 T21.31XA and a single ICD9 code, 942.42 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
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.
