Eczematous dermatitis of right lower eyelid
ICD-10 H01.132 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of eczematous dermatitis of right lower eyelid.
Eczematous dermatitis of the right lower eyelid is characterized by inflammation of the skin, leading to redness, itching, and scaling in the periocular region. The eyelid anatomy includes the skin, muscle, and connective tissue, which are all susceptible to various irritants and allergens. Common triggers for eczematous dermatitis include contact with irritants such as soaps, cosmetics, or environmental allergens. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms such as pruritus, erythema, and crusting, which can significantly impact quality of life. Disease progression may lead to chronic changes, including lichenification and thickening of the skin if not adequately managed. Diagnostic considerations involve a thorough history to identify potential allergens, physical examination, and sometimes patch testing to confirm contact dermatitis. Differential diagnoses may include atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, or other forms of dermatitis affecting the eyelids. Proper identification and management are crucial to prevent complications such as secondary infections or scarring.
