ICD-10 Code H02.735 – Vitiligo of left lower eyelid and periocular area (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.735 – Vitiligo of left lower eyelid and periocular area
What it is
Code H02.735 identifies vitiligo affecting the skin of the left lower eyelid and nearby periocular area. It describes localized loss of pigmentation in that specific anatomic site.
Clinical signs
You may see well-demarcated depigmented or hypopigmented patches around the left lower eyelid. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents vitiligo limited to the left lower eyelid or adjacent periocular skin. It is appropriate for outpatient visits, problem lists, and follow-up care when the diagnosis is clearly stated. Check documentation if the record only says facial vitiligo without laterality or site.
Do not use for
Do not use it for vitiligo on other eyelids, the right side, or generalized vitiligo without left lower eyelid involvement. Do not assign it if the note only mentions skin discoloration without a documented vitiligo diagnosis.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and exact eyelid location before assigning H02.735.
