Other apocrine sweat disorders

This code represents various uncommon conditions affecting the apocrine sweat glands that are not classified elsewhere. These disorders involve abnormal function or structure of the apocrine glands, leading to symptoms such as unusual sweating patterns, odor, or skin lesions. It encompasses a range of rare or atypical apocrine gland pathologies.

Use this code when documentation specifies an apocrine sweat gland disorder that doesn't fit more specific ICD-10-CM codes, such as Fox-Fordyce disease or chromhidrosis. This code is appropriate for conditions like apocrine miliaria, apocrine hidrocystomas not otherwise specified, or other rare apocrine gland dysfunctions. Supporting documentation should clearly identify the condition as apocrine in origin and rule out more specific diagnoses.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the disorder affects the apocrine glands and is not classifiable to a more specific code.
• Differentiate from eccrine sweat disorders (L74.-) and other skin appendage disorders.
• Always review the medical record for any additional signs or symptoms that might warrant a secondary diagnosis code.
