Eczematous dermatitis of eyelid
ICD-10 H01.13 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of eczematous dermatitis of eyelid.
Eczematous dermatitis of the eyelid, classified under H01.13, presents as inflammation characterized by redness, itching, and scaling of the eyelid skin. This condition can arise from various triggers, including allergens, irritants, or underlying systemic diseases. The eyelids are anatomically significant as they protect the eye, facilitate tear distribution, and contribute to the lacrimal system's function. The disease progression may vary, with acute episodes leading to chronic dermatitis if not managed effectively. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough clinical examination, patient history to identify potential allergens or irritants, and sometimes patch testing. Differential diagnoses include contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis. Understanding the periocular anatomy is crucial for healthcare providers to differentiate between eyelid disorders and other orbital or lacrimal system conditions, ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment.
