T32.9: Corrosions involving 90% or more of body surface

Corrosions involving 90% or more of the body surface is a serious medical condition characterized by significant damage to the skin due to a chemical or thermal agent. This condition may occur through accidents, such as chemical spills or severe burns. In such situations, almost all of the body's skin is damaged or destroyed, causing intense pain and the possibility of infection. This extensive damage can lead to fluid loss, shock, or even organ failure, as the skin plays a vital role in protecting the body from harmful bacteria and managing body temperature. Symptoms can include skin redness, blisters, peeling skin, swelling, and a loss of sensation in the affected area. The condition is extremely serious and requires immediate medical intervention.
