A laceration or cut refers to a skin wound. Unlike an abrasion, none of the skin is missing. A cut is typically thought of as a wound caused by a sharp object, like a shard of glass. Lacerations tend to be caused by blunt trauma.
The words “cut” and “laceration” are often interchangeable. Both words indicate that your skin has been damaged by a sharp object, like a knife or shard of glass. In most cases, the wound will bleed. However, a cut is usually referred to as being a minor wound while a laceration is often more serious.
Scalp lacerations are a common injury. Clinical evaluation should identify associated serious head injury, laceration of the galea, or bony defect of the skull. After hemostasis is achieved and the wound is irrigated, scalp lacerations are typically closed with surgical staples under local anesthesia.
Subcutaneous absorbable sutures commonly used on facial lacerations include polyglactin 910 (Vicryl®), poliglecaprone 25 (Monocryl®), and polyglycolic acid (Dexon). Chromic gut is appropriate for surface sutures on mucosa.
Y99. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

You can code for all of them. When the patient has multiple lacerations of the same repair complexity on the same body part, coding is easy: You simply add the lengths of each wound together and choose the matching code.
