The ICD-10 code for Chloasma of right lower eyelid and periocular area is H02.712.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.712 – Chloasma of right lower eyelid and periocular area

What it is

H02.712 identifies chloasma, or localized hyperpigmentation, affecting the right lower eyelid and nearby periocular skin. Use it when documentation specifies this exact side and facial area.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include a flat brown or gray-brown patch around the right lower eyelid. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for laterality and periocular involvement.

When to use this code

Use this code when the provider documents chloasma on the right lower eyelid or periocular area, including melasma-like pigmentation limited to that location. It is appropriate when the record clearly states the side and anatomic site. If the note only says facial hyperpigmentation, check documentation.

Do not use for

Do not use it for unspecified eyelid pigmentation, bilateral periocular chloasma, or pigmentation in another facial area. Check documentation if the lesion is better described by a different diagnosis.

Coding tip

Verify laterality and exact eyelid location before assigning H02.712.
