Eczematous dermatitis of right eye, unspecified eyelid
ICD-10 H01.133 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of eczematous dermatitis of right eye, unspecified eyelid.
Eczematous dermatitis of the right eye, specifically affecting the unspecified eyelid, presents as an inflammatory skin condition characterized by redness, itching, and swelling. The eyelid anatomy includes the skin, muscles, and connective tissues that protect the eye and facilitate blinking. In cases of eczematous dermatitis, the skin barrier is compromised, leading to increased susceptibility to irritants and allergens. The condition may progress from acute to chronic stages, with potential complications such as secondary infections or scarring. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough clinical examination, patient history, and sometimes patch testing to identify specific allergens. Differential diagnoses may include contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis. Treatment often includes topical corticosteroids, emollients, and avoidance of identified triggers. Understanding the periocular anatomy is crucial for effective management and to prevent complications that may arise from untreated dermatitis.

H01.133 specifically covers eczematous dermatitis affecting the right eyelid. This includes allergic contact dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis localized to the eyelid area.
H01.133 should be used when the condition specifically affects the right eyelid and is diagnosed as eczematous dermatitis. It is important to differentiate it from dermatitis affecting other eyelids or other types of dermatitis.
Documentation should include a detailed history of symptoms, physical examination findings, treatment plans, and any diagnostic tests performed, such as allergy testing, to support the diagnosis of eczematous dermatitis.
