T20-T25: Burns and corrosions of external body surface, specified by site

T22: Burn and corrosion of shoulder and upper limb, except wrist and hand

Burns and corrosion of the shoulder and upper limb, except wrist and hand, are injuries that are typically caused by exposure to heat, cold, electricity, chemicals, or radiation. This group of conditions often result in damage to the skin and underlying tissues. They can range in severity, from minor superficial burns affecting only the skin's outermost layers, to full-thickness burns that penetrate deeper levels of skin and can harm structures like muscles, nerves, and bones. Symptoms commonly include pain, swelling, blistering, and often, changes in skin color. Disease progression significantly depends on the extent and depth of the injury, and without timely care, there can be severe complications, including infections and permanent damage to the affected area's function and appearance. Additionally, the body system that these conditions primarily affect is the integumentary system, which includes the skin, hair, nails, and sweat and oil glands.
