The only abrasion of back code is for lower back. Please help. If we need more information, let us know and we will try to get more in the future. how about S20.419 - abrasion of back wall of thorax?

2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S50. 819A: Abrasion of unspecified forearm, initial encounter.
External cause codes identify the cause of an injury or health condition, the intent (accidental or intentional), the place where the incident occurred, the activity of the patient at the time of the incident, and the patient's status (such as civilian or military).
Friction burns are a hybrid of blunt trauma and heat that is worsened by high speed. A rub burn or a friction burn is a wound caused by the skin coming into contact with an abrasive surface when either the person or the surface is moving at high speed, resulting in rubbed raw, burned, blistered or deeply wounded skin.
An abrasion is a type of open wound that's caused by the skin rubbing against a rough surface.
Scrapes (abrasions) are wounds where your skin has been rubbed or torn off. Most scrapes do not go deep into the skin, but some may remove several layers of skin. Scrapes usually don't bleed much, but they may ooze pinkish fluid. Scrapes on the head or face may appear worse than they are.

S80.21S80. 21 - Abrasion of knee | ICD-10-CM.
External cause of injury codes are used to define environmental events, circumstances and conditions such as the cause of injury, poisoning, and other adverse effects related to injury morbidity and mortality.
External cause codes are used to report injuries, poisonings, and other external causes. (They are also valid for diseases that have an external source and health conditions such as a heart attack that occurred while exercising.)
There is no national requirement for mandatoryICD-10-CM external cause code reporting. Unless a provider is subject to a state-based external cause code reporting mandate or these codes are required by a particular payer, reporting of ICD-10-CM codes in chapter 20, External Causes of Morbidity, is not required.
Mechanical injury (usually caused by a blow) resulting in hemorrhage beneath unbroken skin; a bruise. Code History.
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.
Injuries to blood vessels caused by laceration, contusion, puncture, or crush and other types of injuries. Symptoms vary by site and mode of injuries and may include bleeding, bruising, swelling, pain, and numbness.
Main term entries in the ICD-10-CM index for open wounds can be either the type of wound (e.g., puncture), or the term wound, open. Using either term will allow the coder to find the correct type of wound and anatomical location by using the indented subterms. For example, if you look up puncture wound of the abdomen in the index using the main term Wound, open and then go to the subterms Abdomen, wall, puncture, an instructional note will guide you to “see” Puncture, abdomen, wall.#N#Example 1:
Lacerations are generally caused by trauma or contact with an object. Incisions: Typically the result of a sharp object such as a scalpel, knife, or scissors.
Penetrating wounds can be life threatening, causing serious injury, especially if involving vital organs, major blood vessels, or nerves. Gunshot wounds: These are considered to be penetrating wounds that are exclusively caused by bullets from firearms (guns, rifles, etc.).
Type of wound — Open wounds include: Abrasions: Shallow, irregular wounds of the upper layers of skin. Caused by skin brushing with either a rough surface or a smooth surface at high speed. Usually present with minor to no bleeding, with some pain that subsides shortly after initial injury.
Depending on the depth and site of the wound, an incision can be life threatening, especially if it involves vital organs, major blood vessels, or nerves. Punctures: Small, rounded wounds that result from needles, nails, teeth (bites), or other tapered objects.
The puncture wounds on the patient’s hands are not gaping and I think the risks outweigh the benefits of any type of suture closure. The wounds are quite small and I think suturing them would likely increase their risk of infection. IMPRESSION: Dog bite.
