Please help - I need assistance coding the following:
Epidermoid cyst of the 2nd left toe
After informed consent was obtained, using Betadine for cleansing
and 1% Lidocaine without epinephrine for anesthetic. The top of the cyst was removed with a #15 scalpel blade, hemostasis was achieved, cystic fluid was expressed. The cyst base was debrided with a 3mm currette. Cryotherapy was then applied to the lesion with 30 seconds of freeze time. Antibiotic dressing was applied, and wound care instructions provided. Thank you
