Wiki CPT code for "unroofing" a lesion

[dballard2004]

A physician at one of my clinics did a minor procedure where they used a tip of a needle to open up and "unroof" a millia lesion on the patient's face. They used no anesthesia. The provider also reviwed her labs with her for a test consult visit.

What CPT code would be used for the "unroofing" of the lesion? Thanks.

I'd use 10040

{that's my opinion/advice on the posted matter}

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

I would use 10060 since a milia is the retention of a sebaceous cyst. Hope this helps.
