L84 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of corns and callosities. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code L84 is used to code Callus

A callus (or callosity) is a toughened area of skin which has become relatively thick and hard in response to repeated friction, pressure, or other irritation. Rubbing that is too frequent or forceful will cause blisters rather than allow calluses to form. Since repeated contact is required, calluses are most often found on feet because of frequent walking. Calluses are generally not harmful, but may sometimes lead to other problems, such as skin ulceration or infection.

Specialty: Dermatology
MeSH Code: D002145
