T25: Burn and corrosion of ankle and foot
T25.3: Burn of third degree of ankle and foot
It may also be that only a toe or toenail is affected. A burn involves tissue being damaged by severe heat. This may happen due to fire, electricity, hot liquids or gases, for example.
The skin in the affected areas may be completely dead. The tissue below the skin may also be damaged. If nerves in a specific location are badly damaged, it will no longer be possible to feel pain there.
