Other specified diseases of sebaceous glands

This code signifies various non-acne related conditions affecting the sebaceous glands that are not classified elsewhere. It encompasses disorders characterized by abnormal sebaceous gland function or structure, leading to skin manifestations beyond typical acne vulgaris.

Apply this code for conditions such as sebaceous hyperplasia, sebaceous adenoma, or other benign sebaceous gland neoplasms not specified by a more precise code. Documentation should clearly indicate a diagnosis related to sebaceous gland pathology that doesn't fit into other categories like acne or cysts.

• Ensure the documentation specifies a sebaceous gland disorder that isn't acne (706.1) or a sebaceous cyst (706.2).
• Avoid using this code if a more specific ICD-9-CM code exists for the diagnosed sebaceous gland condition.
• Confirm the physician's diagnosis explicitly states "other specified disease of sebaceous glands" or a condition that falls under this umbrella.
