ICD-10 Code H01.136 – Eczematous dermatitis of left eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.136 – Eczematous dermatitis of left eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
This code identifies eczematous dermatitis affecting the left eye area, with the eyelid not otherwise specified. Use it when documentation describes eczema-like inflammation on the left eyelid without a more specific eyelid diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include red, itchy, dry, or scaly eyelid skin, sometimes with swelling or irritation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for laterality and whether the eyelid is specifically involved.
When to use this code
Use H01.136 when the record clearly states eczematous dermatitis of the left eye or left eyelid and no more specific subtype is documented. It also fits when the provider documents eyelid eczema on the left side without further detail. Check documentation if the note only says “dermatitis” or does not specify laterality.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for dermatitis of the right eye, both eyes, or an unspecified eye when laterality is not documented. Do not use it if the condition is a different eyelid disorder or a non-eczեմատous skin diagnosis.
Coding tip
Confirm both the left-sided location and the eczema description before assigning H01.136.
