Hypertrichosis of right lower eyelid

This code signifies an abnormal and excessive growth of hair on the right lower eyelid. This condition, known as hypertrichosis, can be congenital or acquired and may affect vision or cause irritation.

Use this code when documentation specifies excessive hair growth exclusively on the right lower eyelid. This diagnosis is typically supported by physical examination findings noting the presence and location of the abnormal hair.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "right lower eyelid" to differentiate from other eyelid locations or bilateral involvement.
• Do not confuse with trichiasis (inward-growing eyelashes) or madarosis (loss of eyelashes).
• Consider an additional code for any underlying cause of the hypertrichosis if identified and documented.
