T90-T98: Sequelae of injuries, of poisoning and of other consequences of external causes
T95: Sequelae of burns, corrosions and frostbite
The conditions referred to as "Sequelae of burns, corrosions, and frostbite" are the long-term effects or complications that can arise after someone has experienced burns, corrosions from chemicals, or frostbite. These complications can manifest in many different ways depending on the severity and location of the original injury. Some common sequelae might include skin scarring, restricted movement due to tissue damage, chronic pain, or a loss of sensation. In some severe cases, these conditions might lead to complications in other body systems, such as the respiratory system or circulatory system, often due to damage in the affected tissue. Additionally, psychological sequelae, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression, can also occur after experiencing such traumatic injuries. All these conditions result from the body's response to the initial injury and the healing process that follows.
