Xeroderma of right eye, unspecified eyelid
ICD-10 H01.143 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of xeroderma of right eye, unspecified eyelid.
Xeroderma of the right eye, unspecified eyelid, refers to a condition characterized by abnormal dryness of the skin on the eyelid, which can lead to irritation, inflammation, and discomfort. The eyelid anatomy includes the skin, muscles, and connective tissues that protect the eye and assist in tear distribution. Xeroderma can result from various factors, including environmental conditions, systemic diseases, or localized skin disorders. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms such as redness, scaling, and a sensation of tightness or burning around the eyelid. Disease progression can lead to complications like dermatitis or secondary infections if left untreated. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough patient history, physical examination, and potentially skin biopsy to rule out other dermatological conditions. Treatment typically involves moisturizing agents, topical corticosteroids, and addressing any underlying causes to restore normal eyelid function and comfort.
