Other eccrine sweat disorders

This code represents various uncommon or unspecified conditions affecting the eccrine sweat glands, excluding those with more specific ICD-10-CM codes. These disorders involve abnormal sweat production, either excessive (hyperhidrosis) or deficient (hypohidrosis/anhidrosis), or other functional disturbances of these glands.

Use this code when documentation indicates an eccrine sweat disorder that doesn't fit a more specific code, such as focal hyperhidrosis (R61.0) or anhidrosis (R61.9). This may include conditions like chromhidrosis, apocrine chromhidrosis, or other rare eccrine gland dysfunctions not otherwise classified. Ensure the physician's notes clearly specify an eccrine sweat gland involvement.

• Differentiate from apocrine sweat gland disorders, which are coded separately.
• Always seek a more specific code if available; this code is for residual or unspecified eccrine conditions.
• Ensure documentation specifies "eccrine" if the type of sweat gland is not explicitly stated but implied by the condition.
