Miss Heather had a burn injury and now she has a keloid scar on her right hand. She is admitted for the corrective surgery of this scar. What is the correct ICD-10 coding of this patient?
  1. L93.0
  2. L91.0
  3. L92.0
  4. L94.0
Explanation
Answer: B 

L91.0 is the appropriate code here because it is used to code for hypertrophic scars that include keloid scar. 

Option A is not correct because L93.0 is used to code for discoid lupus erythematosus which is not the diagnosis here. 

Option C is not correct because L92.0 is used to code for granuloma annulare which is not the diagnosis here. 

Option D is not correct because L94.0 is used to code for localized scleroderma which is not the diagnosis here.
