ICD-10 Code L95.8 – Other vasculitis limited to the skin (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L95.8 – Other vasculitis limited to the skin
What it is
L95.8 identifies vasculitis that affects the skin and does not fit a more specific ICD-10 category. It refers to inflammation of cutaneous blood vessels, with disease limited to the skin.
Clinical signs
Typical findings may include palpable purpura, petechiae, livedo, nodules, or ulceration on the skin. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the exact pattern and whether systemic involvement is absent.
When to use this code
Use L95.8 when the provider documents vasculitis limited to the skin but does not name a more specific subtype. It also applies when the record supports cutaneous vasculitis and the etiology or exact vasculitis type remains unspecified. Check documentation if systemic vasculitis is mentioned.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for vasculitis with confirmed systemic involvement or for a more specific cutaneous vasculitis code already documented. It is also not appropriate when the diagnosis is only suspected. Check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the most specific vasculitis term documented, and confirm the condition is limited to the skin before assigning L95.8.
