ICD-10 Code H01.139 – Eczematous Dermatitis of Unspecified Eye, Unspecified Eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.139 – Eczematous dermatitis of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
This code identifies eczema-like inflammation affecting the eyelid or skin around the eye when the exact eye and eyelid side are not specified. Use it for nonspecific eczematous dermatitis documented in the periocular area.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include redness, itching, scaling, and dry or irritated eyelid skin. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation if the note does not clearly describe an eczematous pattern.
When to use this code
Use H01.139 when the provider documents eczematous dermatitis of the eye area but does not specify right, left, or bilateral involvement. It also fits when the record identifies eyelid eczema without more detail. If the documentation names a different eyelid disorder, code that condition instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for allergic conjunctivitis, blepharitis, or infectious eyelid conditions. Check documentation if the record describes a different dermatitis type or a more specific eye or eyelid diagnosis.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality and the exact anatomic site before assigning this unspecified code.
