ICD-10 Code L30.8 – Other specified dermatitis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L30.8 – Other specified dermatitis
What it is
L30.8 identifies dermatitis that does not fit a more specific eczema or dermatitis category. Use it when the chart documents a particular dermatitis type that is otherwise not classified elsewhere.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common dermatitis findings may include erythema, itching, scaling, or localized inflammation, but you should code based on the documented diagnosis rather than appearance alone.
When to use this code
Use L30.8 when the provider specifies “other specified dermatitis” or names a dermatitis condition not captured by a more specific code. It may also fit when the record clearly describes a defined dermatitis entity and no better ICD-10 option is available. Check documentation if the note is nonspecific.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified dermatitis when the record lacks detail, or for dermatitis with a more precise diagnosis elsewhere in ICD-10-CM. Avoid using it for infectious rashes or non-dermatitis skin disorders.
Coding tip
Code the exact documented dermatitis type first; if the note only says “rash” or “skin irritation,” check documentation for a more specific diagnosis.
