T32.3: Corrosions involving 30-39% of body surface

Corrosions involving 30-39% of body surface, as the term suggests, refers to any type of corrosive injury that has affected approximately one-third of an individual's body. These injuries are often the result of exposure to strong acids, alkalines, or other forms of corrosive chemicals. They can occur in various environments such as industrial workplaces, household accidents, or during the misuse of dangerous substances. Symptoms typically manifest as severe skin damage that ranges from redness and pain to deep burns, depending on the nature and extent of the exposure. The injuries may impact not just the skin, but also underlying tissues and can be coupled with systemic problems due to possible absorption of the substance into the bloodstream. This condition necessitates immediate and comprehensive medical care to manage both local symptoms and potential systemic complications.
