T29-T32: Burns and corrosions of multiple and unspecified body regions
Burns and corrosions of multiple and unspecified body regions refer to damage caused to the skin or deeper tissues due to exposure to extreme heat, certain harmful chemicals, or radiation. This damage might affect more than one area of the body, or the specific body region affected may not be clearly defined. Causes may include fires, hot liquids or steam (scalds), radiation from the sun or medical treatments, electrical sources, and certain strong acids or alkalis. Symptoms can range from redness, swelling, and pain in less severe cases (superficial burns) to the whitening or darkening of the skin, possible charring and impairment of sensation in severe cases (deep burns or corrosions). As the damage progresses, other body systems might also be affected, potentially leading to complications such as infection, shock, and respiratory problems.
