This is by electrocautery not silver nitrate.

Do NOT use:
17000 - Destruction (eg, laser surgery, electrosurgery, cryosurgery, chemosurgery, surgical curettement), premalignant lesions (eg, actinic keratoses); first lesion
Granulation Tissue is not premalignant.

17110 - Destruction (eg, laser surgery, electrosurgery, cryosurgery, chemosurgery, surgical curettement), of benign lesions other than skin tags or cutaneous vascular proliferative lesions; up to 14 lesions

Benign lesions other than skin tags or cutaneous vascular proliferative lesions are destroyed by laser surgery, electrosurgery, cryosurgery, chemosurgery, or surgical curettement. A local anesthetic may be administered. The type of destruction depends on the lesion type and location and may include use of a laser, heat or thermal energy (electrosurgery), cold or freezing (cryosurgery), chemical destruction, or scraping (surgical curettement). Use 17110 to report destruction of up to 14 lesions and 17111 for destruction of 15 or more lesions.
