ICD-10 Code H01.11 – Allergic dermatitis of eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.11 – Allergic dermatitis of eyelid
What it is
Use this code for an allergic inflammatory reaction affecting the eyelid skin. It indicates dermatitis caused by an allergen, with the eyelid as the documented site.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include eyelid redness, itching, swelling, and irritation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation, and confirm that the provider identifies an allergic cause.
When to use this code
Assign H01.11 when the record states allergic dermatitis of the eyelid, allergic eyelid eczema, or a similar documented diagnosis. Use it for office, urgent care, or specialty visits when the provider links the dermatitis to an allergic process. Check documentation if the cause is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for infectious eyelid conditions, contact lens irritation without dermatitis, or nonspecific eyelid redness. If the note does not support an allergic diagnosis, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the documented eyelid site and allergic etiology exactly as stated; do not infer allergy from symptoms alone.
