T25: Burn and corrosion of ankle and foot
T25.2: Burn of second degree of ankle and foot
Burn of second degree of ankle and foot refers to a distinct type of injury affecting the skin of the ankle and foot region. This injury is typically characterized by damage extending beyond the top layer of skin, reaching the dermis, the layer beneath the epidermis. It's usually caused by direct exposure to heat sources such as hot liquids, solid objects, fire, or by certain chemicals and electricity. Symptoms may include pain, redness, swelling and the formation of blisters filled with clear fluid. The skin may appear moist, and it might even show a deeper coloration ranging from white to dark brown. This type of injury can expose affected individuals to risks such as infections and scarring. Besides the direct trauma to the skin, it could also potentially affect circulation and functionality of the ankle and foot, due to edema (swelling) and pain.
