Eczematous dermatitis of right upper eyelid
ICD-10 H01.131 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of eczematous dermatitis of right upper eyelid.
Eczematous dermatitis of the right upper eyelid is characterized by inflammation of the skin, leading to redness, itching, and scaling in the periocular region. The eyelid anatomy includes the skin, muscles, and connective tissues that protect the eye and facilitate its movement. Eczematous dermatitis can arise from various triggers, including allergens, irritants, or underlying systemic conditions. The condition may progress from acute to chronic stages, with potential complications such as secondary infections or eyelid malformations if left untreated. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough clinical examination, patient history, and possibly patch testing to identify specific allergens. Differential diagnoses may include contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, or blepharitis, necessitating careful evaluation to ensure appropriate management.
