ICD-10 Code H02.71 – Chloasma of eyelid and periocular area (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.71 – Chloasma of eyelid and periocular area
What it is
H02.71 identifies chloasma, or melasma-like hyperpigmentation, affecting the eyelid and surrounding periocular skin. Use it when documentation specifically names this localized pigment change.
Clinical signs
Typical findings are flat, brown to gray-brown patches on the eyelid or nearby skin. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents chloasma on the eyelid or periocular area as the diagnosis. It is appropriate for charted hyperpigmentation limited to this facial region, including outpatient or specialist notes. If the record only says “facial pigmentation,” check documentation for the exact site.
Do not use for
Do not use it for generalized skin discoloration, other eyelid lesions, or pigment changes from a different cause. Check documentation if the note describes melasma elsewhere or another named disorder.
Coding tip
Code H02.71 only when the eyelid/periocular location is clearly documented.
