T23: Burn and corrosion of wrist and hand

Burns and corrosions of the wrist and hand refer to a group of injuries caused by exposure to heat, chemicals, or electricity that damage the skin and underlying tissues in these areas. These injuries may range in severity from superficial burns affecting only the surface of the skin to deep burns that damage the underlying muscles, tendons, and bones. Corrosions, on the other hand, refer to injuries caused by contact with strong acids or alkalis. Symptoms common to these injuries include pain, redness, swelling, and blisters, and in serious cases, there might be blackened or charred skin. Over time, the damaged area can become infected and the skin may not heal properly, which can lead to the formation of scars. The progression of these conditions highly depends on the severity of the injury and the time when proper medical attention was received.
