ICD-10 Code H01.131 – Eczematous dermatitis of right upper eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.131 – Eczematous dermatitis of right upper eyelid
What it is
Use this code for eczematous inflammation affecting the right upper eyelid. It describes dermatitis limited to that eyelid, not the entire eye or both lids.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include redness, scaling, itching, and skin irritation of the right upper eyelid. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Assign H01.131 when the provider documents eczematous dermatitis specifically on the right upper eyelid. Use it when the condition is localized and the record supports laterality and eyelid site. Check documentation if the note only says “eyelid dermatitis” without side or lid detail.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for dermatitis of the left eyelid, both eyelids, or a different periocular skin site. Do not use it when the diagnosis is unspecified or when another skin disorder is documented instead.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and eyelid location before coding, because missing detail can change the code selection.
