ICD-10 Code H01.13 – Eczematous Dermatitis of Eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.13 – Eczematous dermatitis of eyelid
What it is
This code identifies eczema affecting the eyelid skin. Use it when the record describes an eczematous or dermatitis-type inflammatory rash limited to the eyelid area.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include redness, scaling, itching, and irritation of the eyelid skin. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for laterality and whether both eyelids are involved.
When to use this code
Use H01.13 when the clinician documents eczematous dermatitis of the eyelid without a more specific cause or alternative diagnosis. Code it for encounters focused on eyelid eczema, including chronic or recurrent inflammation. If the note specifies an allergic, contact, or infectious condition instead, choose the documented diagnosis.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for blepharitis, conjunctivitis, or generalized dermatitis outside the eyelid. Check documentation if the eyelid rash is attributed to another defined skin disorder.
Coding tip
Verify laterality and the exact eyelid wording in the note before assigning the code.
