For a diagnosis code for ear itching would you use H93.8x1 (other specified disorders of right ear ) or H93.91 (unspecified disorder of right ear) or L29.9 (Pruritus unspecified itch nos)

depends on where the itch is lol
the L29.8 other itching is a skin and subcutaneous
it itch is in ear canal I would code ear code
it external L code with maybe H code to since we can't specify location of itch
my thoughts, Happy coding
