L80-L99: Other disorders of the skin and subcutaneous tissue
L95: Vasculitis limited to skin, not elsewhere classified
Vasculitis limited to the skin, not classified elsewhere, refers to a group of conditions characterized by inflammation and damage to the blood vessels in the skin. These conditions typically result from an immune response that leads to the attack of the body's own blood vessels. Common skin manifestations may include red or purple spots, rashes, bumps or ulcers. The severity and progression of these conditions can vary, typically, they might start as a mild skin irritation, but without proper management, could eventually progress to serious skin and tissue damage. This group of conditions usually do not directly affect other body systems but may sometimes be associated with systemic illnesses. Additionally, these conditions are not contagious and hence are not transmitted from person to person. It's important to consult with healthcare providers for further examination and diagnosis when these symptoms are observed.
