Vitiligo of right lower eyelid and periocular area

This code describes the depigmentation disorder, vitiligo, specifically affecting the skin of the right lower eyelid and the surrounding periocular region. Vitiligo is characterized by well-defined, milky-white patches resulting from the loss of melanocytes.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates vitiligo is present on the right lower eyelid or the immediate area around the right eye. Supporting documentation should specify the laterality and the exact anatomical location of the vitiligo.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "right" lower eyelid and periocular area; do not assume laterality.
• Distinguish from other hypopigmentation disorders or localized albinism.
• This code is specific to the eyelid and periocular area; use other H02.7 codes for vitiligo affecting other parts of the eye or adnexa.
