ICD-10 Code H00.032 – Abscess of right lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H00.032 – Abscess of right lower eyelid
What it is
H00.032 identifies a localized pus-filled infection in the right lower eyelid. Use it when documentation states an abscess of that eyelid, rather than a broader eyelid infection.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include a tender, swollen, red eyelid with a focal collection of pus or fluctuance. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents an abscess specifically in the right lower eyelid. It also fits when the note describes a drained or localized eyelid abscess on that side. Check documentation if the record only says “eyelid infection” or does not specify the lower right eyelid.
Do not use for
Do not use H00.032 for a stye, chalazion, or cellulitis without an abscess. If the site is not the right lower eyelid, choose the documented laterality and location.
Coding tip
Always confirm laterality and eyelid location in the note before assigning H00.032.
