The patient is here to follow-up for a keloid excised from his neck in November of last year. He believes it is coming back. He does have a recurrence of the keloid on the superior portion of the scar. Because the keloid is still small, options of an injection or radiation to the area were discussed. It was agreed our next course should be a Kenalog (triamcinolone acetonide)injection. Risks associated with the procedure were discussed with the patient. Informed consent was obtained. The area was infiltrated with 1.5 cc of medication. This was a mixture of 1 cc of Kenalog-10 and 0.5 cc of 1% lidocaine with epinephrine. He tolerated the procedure well. What codes are reported?
