ICD-10 Code H01.145 – Xeroderma of left lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.145 – Xeroderma of left lower eyelid
What it is
H01.145 identifies xeroderma, or abnormal dryness, affecting the left lower eyelid. Use it when documentation specifically names dryness of that eyelid rather than a broader skin or eye disorder.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include dry, rough, or flaky eyelid skin, sometimes with mild irritation or tightness. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents xeroderma limited to the left lower eyelid. It is appropriate for localized eyelid dryness noted on exam, history, or assessment. If the record only says “dry eye” or “dry skin” without eyelid laterality, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use it for generalized dry skin, dry eye syndrome, or unspecified eyelid irritation. If the note does not clearly identify the left lower eyelid, you need more specific documentation.
Coding tip
Match the exact eyelid and laterality in the provider note before assigning H01.145.
