ICD-10 Code H01.142 – Xeroderma of right lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.142 – Xeroderma of right lower eyelid
What it is
H01.142 identifies xeroderma, or abnormal dryness, of the right lower eyelid. Use it when the chart documents a dry, rough, or scaly eyelid skin condition on that specific side.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include dry, flaky, or irritated skin of the lower eyelid, sometimes with mild redness or itching. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents xeroderma affecting the right lower eyelid and does not describe a more specific eyelid disorder. It is appropriate for localized dryness noted on exam, history, or assessment. Check documentation if the record also mentions dermatitis, blepharitis, or another primary diagnosis.
Do not use for
Do not use it for generalized dry skin, dry eye syndrome, or eyelid inflammation without documented xeroderma. If the note describes a different eyelid condition, choose the more specific code.
Coding tip
Verify laterality and eyelid location in the note before assigning H01.142.
