RE: skin ulcer

[Brenda Chance]

If these blisters are related to cellulitis, then I would not code them.  They are not pressure induced (right?) and are related to an infection rather than pressure.  I have seen many residents that have PVD and end up with cellulitis with blister formation.    Brenda W.
