T32.0: Corrosions involving less than 10% of body surface

Corrosions involving less than 10% of body surface is a medical condition that occurs when certain harmful substances come into contact with the skin, causing it to burn or wear away. These substances can include potent chemicals such as strong acids or alkaline materials. People with this condition generally have localized injuries on the skin that less than 10% of their total body surface. These injuries may appear as red, swollen, and painful areas and may have varying degrees of severity depending on the strength of the corrosive substance involved. In some cases, blistering and loss of skin may be observed. Further damage to underlying tissues is possible if corrosive substances penetrate deeper into the skin. While it's primarily a skin condition, corrosions can potentially cause systemic complications if left untreated.
