Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Look for these two elements: multiple incisions are required, or the abscess is complicated by the presence of an infection, says Pohlig. You could also turn to 10061 if the I&D takes an unusual length of time to finish, is especially deep, or requires drain placement, packing, placement of wicking material or subsequent wound closure.
