T49.2X2Poisoning by local astringents and local detergents, intentional self-harm

T49.2X2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by local astringents and local detergents, intentional self-harm. It belongs to category T49 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of topical agents primarily affecting skin and mucous membrane and by ophthalmological, otorhinorlaryngological and dental drugs), block T36-T50 (poisoning by, adverse effects of and underdosing of drugs, medicaments and biological substances) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T49.2X (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of local astringents and local detergents), T49.2X2 is specifically for poisoning by local astringents and local detergents, intentional self-harm. Related codes cover poisoning by local astringents and local detergents, accidental (unintentional) (T49.2X1), poisoning by local astringents and local detergents, assault (T49.2X3), poisoning by local astringents and local detergents, undetermined (T49.2X4), adverse effect of local astringents and local detergents (T49.2X5) and underdosing of local astringents and local detergents (T49.2X6).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
