I'm not sure what DX code to use for "ventral side penile shaft skin deficiency" No Chordee
I did look at N47.3 Deficient foreskin - that's a no
Then, I was was looking at
Q55.69 Other congenital malformation of penis
Q55.8: Other specified congenital malformations of male genital organs

any thoughts, I would greatly appreciate it!
