T30: Burn and corrosion, body region unspecified
T30.6: Corrosion of second degree, body region unspecified
Corrosion of second degree, body region unspecified refers to a type of burn injury that has reached the second layer of the skin or the dermis. This typically results from exposure to harmful substances like acids, alkalis, or other caustic materials that cause the skin to corrode or deteriorate. Pain, redness, and blisters are common symptoms, offering a visual indicator of the injury's severity. Additionally, the affected area often takes on a glossy appearance from the leaking fluid in the damaged tissues. It's important to note that despite the severity of symptoms, this type of corrosion does not usually involve deeper tissues, organs, or systems of the body. The 'body region unspecified' part indicates that the injury can happen on any part of the body.
