D23: Other benign neoplasms of skin
The D23 ICD-10 group range signifies a variety of other benign neoplasms of the skin. 'Benign' refers to the non-cancerous nature of these neoplasms or growths, indicating they do not spread to other parts of the body. These growths may occur anywhere on the body's skin and could be a result of various factors, such as cumulative sun exposure, family history, or certain skin conditions. Common symptoms often include visually noticeable skin growths that may be a different color or texture from the surrounding skin. The growths are generally slow-growing and don't cause pain unless they are injured or irritated. Please note, while benign, these neoplasms might lead to changes or abnormalities in the skin's appearance. Hence, a healthcare provider's assistance might be needed to monitor the growth.
