P80-P83: Conditions involving the integument and temperature regulation of fetus and newborn
P83: Other conditions of integument specific to fetus and newborn
The P83 group refers to various conditions that specifically affect the skin (or integument) of the fetus and newborn. These conditions are not diseases transmitted through any particular means but are typically physiological responses or abnormalities that occur during the fetal or newborn period. Common symptoms for these conditions might include changes in skin color, texture, such as roughness or smoothness, skin markings or patterns, or the presence of raised or flat anomalies on the surface of the skin. The progression of these conditions heavily depends on the underlying issue and varies widely. Some conditions may resolve spontaneously over time, while others might persist and may require medical interventions. The causes behind these conditions are vast, ranging from genetic factors, prematurity, exposure to certain substances during pregnancy or birth, infections, or hormonal changes, among others.
