S10: Superficial injury of neck
S10.7: Multiple superficial injuries of neck
Multiple superficial injuries of the neck are minor wounds that affect the surface or outer layers of the skin in the neck area. These injuries can result from various causes, such as accidents, falls, or attacks. Common types include bruises (contusions), scrapes (abrasions), minor cuts, and puncture wounds. Depending on their severity, these injuries may cause different symptoms like pain, swelling, redness, and sometimes bleeding. However, they usually do not go deep enough to affect major blood vessels or other structures in the neck. While these injuries are generally not life-threatening, they can cause discomfort and may require appropriate cleaning, care, and sometimes medical attention to prevent infection and promote healing.
