Folliculitis is the inflammation of hair follicles due to an infection, injury, or irritation. It is characterized by tender, swollen areas that form around hair follicles, often on the neck, breasts, buttocks, and face. Boils (also referred to as furuncles) are pus-filled lesions that are painful and usually firm.
Once you have folliculitis, it can spread to other parts of your body. Folliculitis can occur anywhere there's hair. Common areas affected by folliculitis include the: scalp.

The 69100 code is for a punch or excisional biopsy of the external ear. Since your provider clearly did a shave approach (and did not mention scalpel or punch), and didn't suture the defect, I'd go with the codes in the 1131x. You will have to query the provider about the size, however, and not just code to the lowest code because you don't know.
I would agree that it should be 11100. 11300-11313 is for shave REMOVAL of lesions, indicating the entire lesion is removed via shave technique. 11100 is for a lesion biopsy, meaning only a portion of the lesion is sampled via any biopsy technique.
You are correct that shave biopsy is misleading, he either performed a biopsy OR he performe a shave removal. The documentation is insufficient to determine. A biopsy by definition is a removal of a piece of a larger anomaly. A shave is a removal of the entire visible anomaly to a depth of partial thickness.
For example, the surgeon excises an irregularly shaped, malignant lesion from a patient's left shoulder. The lesion measures 1.5 cm at its widest. To ensure removal of all malignancy, the surgeon allows a margin of at least 1.5 cm on all sides.
Excision of benign lesion#N#Need a calulation of a benign excision of the shoulder when the note only states 4mm x 5mm. Another one is 6mm and another is 4mm x 6mm is all that is in the note. Thank You!!

For reconstructive closure, see 14000-14300, 15000-15261, and 15570-15770.
