Pityriasis lichenoides chronica
ICD-10 L41.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pityriasis lichenoides chronica.
L41.1 is the code for pityriasis lichenoides chronica, a chronic skin condition characterized by persistent, scaly patches that can appear on the trunk and extremities. Unlike its acute counterpart, this condition may last for months or years and can be associated with other underlying health issues. Treatment often involves topical therapies, such as corticosteroids, and in some cases, systemic treatments may be required. Regular follow-up is essential to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as necessary.
It can persist for months to years without treatment.
Topical corticosteroids and systemic therapies may be used.
