T20-T25: Burns and corrosions of external body surface, specified by site
T25: Burn and corrosion of ankle and foot
The Burns and Corrosions of Ankle and Foot group primarily includes injuries which result from direct contact of the skin with a hot surface, object, or substance, or due to exposure to harmful chemicals. The extent of the injury widely varies from superficial burns affecting only the outer skin layer, known as first-degree burns, to more serious second- or third-degree burns, which damage deeper layers of skin, and may even affect the underlying tissue and bone. Typical symptoms include pain, red or peeling skin, blisters, and swelling. In some severe cases, loss of sensation may be observed due to nerve damage. These kinds of injuries can have both immediate and long-term health implications, including infection, scarring, and impaired mobility of the affected region.
