Second-degree (partial-thickness) burns — Second-degree burns (also called partial-thickness burns) involve the top two layers of skin. These burns form blisters, are very painful, may seep fluid, and blanch when pressed (picture 2).
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."
2nd-degree burn. This type of burn affects both the epidermis and the second layer of skin (dermis). It may cause swelling and red, white or splotchy skin. Blisters may develop, and pain can be severe. Deep second-degree burns can cause scarring.

943.23 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of blisters, epidermal loss [second degree] of upper arm. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
Code also note - A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
A burn is damage to your body's tissues caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, sunlight or radiation. Scalds from hot liquids and steam, building fires and flammable liquids and gases are the most common causes of burns. Another kind is an inhalation injury, caused by breathing smoke.
Burns can cause swelling, blistering, scarring and, in serious cases, shock and even death. They also can lead to infections because they damage your skin's protective barrier. Treatment for burns depends on the cause of the burn, how deep it is, and how much of the body it covers. Antibiotic creams can prevent or treat infections. For more serious burns, treatment may be needed to clean the wound, replace the skin, and make sure the patient has enough fluids and nutrition.
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)
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.
The required fourth character identifies the percentage of the patient’s entire body affected by burns. The fifth character identifies the percentage of the patient’s body that is suffering from third-degree burns or corrosions only.
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.
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.
The fifth character reports additional details regarding the anatomical site of the burn.
The descriptions of codes in the T20-T28 range are first defined by an anatomical location of the body affected by burn or corrosion.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T22.232A became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
