Eczematous dermatitis of left upper eyelid
ICD-10 H01.134 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of eczematous dermatitis of left upper eyelid.
Eczematous dermatitis of the left upper eyelid is characterized by inflammation of the skin on the eyelid, often presenting as redness, swelling, and itching. The condition may be triggered by allergens, irritants, or underlying skin conditions. The eyelid anatomy includes the skin, muscle, and connective tissue, which are all involved in the inflammatory process. Disease progression can lead to chronic dermatitis if not managed properly, resulting in thickened skin and potential complications such as secondary infections. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough patient history, physical examination, and possibly patch testing to identify allergens. Clinicians should differentiate eczematous dermatitis from other eyelid disorders, such as blepharitis or contact dermatitis, to ensure appropriate treatment. Management typically involves topical corticosteroids, moisturizers, and avoidance of identified triggers.
