ICD-10 Code H01.144 – Xeroderma of left upper eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H01.144 – Xeroderma of left upper eyelid
What it is
H01.144 identifies xeroderma, or abnormal dryness, affecting the left upper eyelid. Use it when documentation specifies dry, scaly eyelid skin on that side.
Clinical signs
Findings may include dry, rough, or flaky skin of the eyelid with possible irritation or mild itching. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents xeroderma specifically on the left upper eyelid. It fits localized eyelid dryness without a more specific underlying diagnosis. If the record only says “dry eye” or “eyelid irritation,” check documentation before coding this eyelid-specific diagnosis.
Do not use for
Do not use it for generalized dry skin, dry eye syndrome, or unspecified eyelid dermatitis. Check documentation if the note does not clearly identify xeroderma of the left upper eyelid.
Coding tip
Code the documented eyelid location exactly; laterality matters for this diagnosis.
