Wiki Staph infection at specified site?

[tag60]

I can't find a code for staph infection at specified site. The one I find, A49.01, says of unspecified site. I may be going about the coding of this incorrectly. Help!

Provider describes area on forehead, just below hairline, where pt has a bump and crusted area.

Dx: Staph infection of skin, A49.01


What is correct way to code this to reflect the site of infection as well as the type of infection?

Thanks in advance!

I'd go with

L08.89 - Other specified local infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue
followed by
B95.8 - Unspecified staphylococcus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere
