Other early skin lesions of yaws

This code identifies various non-primary skin manifestations of early yaws, a chronic tropical infection caused by Treponema pallidum pertenue. These lesions typically appear after the initial papule or ulcer and can include papules, nodules, plaques, or hyperkeratotic patches, often with a "frambesiform" or raspberry-like appearance. They are highly infectious and represent the secondary stage of the disease.

Assign this code when documentation specifies early yaws with skin lesions other than the initial primary chancre. This includes conditions like frambesiform yaws, papillomas, or other secondary cutaneous eruptions. Supporting documentation should clearly describe the morphology and stage of the skin lesions, confirming they are not the initial lesion.

• Differentiate from primary yaws lesions (initial chancre) which have a distinct code.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "early" or "secondary" stage to distinguish from late yaws manifestations.
• Confirm the etiology is Treponema pallidum pertenue to avoid confusion with syphilis or other treponemal diseases.
