Other conditions of integument specific to newborn (P83) ICD-10-CM
The P83 code range covers other conditions of integument specific to newborn with 14 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 11 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
- congenital malformations of skin and integument Q80 Q84
- hydrops fetalis due to hemolytic disease P56
- neonatal skin infection P39.4
- staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome L00
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the P83 range.
Erythema Toxicum Neonatorum
A benign, self-limited eruption of vesicles, pustules, papules and macules seen in newborns. An eosinophilic infiltrate can be isolated suggesting an immune-mediated reaction in the skin.
Sclerema Neonatorum
A severe, sometimes fatal, disorder of adipose tissue occurring chiefly in preterm or debilitated infants suffering from an underlying illness and manifested by a diffuse, nonpitting induration of the affected tissue. The skin becomes cold, yellowish, mottled, and inflexible.
Umbilical Granuloma
Excessive granulation tissue at the base of the umbilicus after separation.
About the P83 Code Range
Newborns can have conditions affecting the skin and other outer tissues. This category groups several named conditions with edema, or body fluid retention, specific to newborns.
Some subdivisions identify a particular condition, such as breast engorgement under P83.4. The P83.3 branch separates other edema from unspecified edema. The P83.8 branch separates umbilical granuloma from other specified conditions. P83.9 is for an unspecified condition of the newborn's outer tissues.
