ICD-10 Code H01.141 – Xeroderma of right upper eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.141 – Xeroderma of right upper eyelid
What it is
This code identifies xeroderma, or abnormal dryness, affecting the right upper eyelid. Use it when documentation specifies dry, scaly, or desiccated skin limited to that eyelid.
Clinical signs
Findings may include dryness, roughness, flaking, or mild scaling of the eyelid skin. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the exact appearance and laterality.
When to use this code
Use H01.141 when the provider documents xeroderma specifically on the right upper eyelid. It is appropriate for localized eyelid dryness without a more specific alternative diagnosis. If the note only says “dry eye” or “dry skin” elsewhere, check documentation before coding this eyelid-specific code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for generalized dry skin, dry eye syndrome, or unrelated eyelid disorders. If the record does not clearly state the right upper eyelid, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm both the condition and laterality in the note before assigning H01.141.
