Can anyone please help me with this question? When we receive a diagnosis for pustules and furuncles on face we usually bill this diagnosis as L02.02 for furuncles face and L70.0 for acne pustular but in the ICD 10 code book if you look of pustules it states to use code L08.9. Which code should be correctly used? L70.0 or L08.9
