ICD-10 Code L75.8 – Other apocrine sweat disorders (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L75.8 – Other apocrine sweat disorders
What it is
L75.8 identifies apocrine sweat gland disorders that do not fit a more specific ICD-10-CM code. Use it when documentation names an apocrine gland condition but does not provide a narrower diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may involve abnormal apocrine gland function, localized skin changes, odor, or recurrent irritation in apocrine-bearing areas.
When to use this code
Use L75.8 when the provider documents an apocrine sweat disorder and no more specific code applies. It is appropriate for nonspecific or otherwise classified apocrine gland conditions in the chart. Verify that the note supports an apocrine, not eccrine, sweat disorder.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for common sweating disorders, such as hyperhidrosis or anhidrosis, unless the documentation specifically supports an apocrine disorder. Check documentation if the diagnosis is unclear.
Coding tip
Code to the most specific sweat gland disorder documented, and query the provider if the record only says “sweating problem.”
