L718 - Other types of rosacea not specifically classified elsewhere
International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
This code represents forms of rosacea that don't fit into the more specific rosacea categories. Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes bumps or pimples. This particular code is used when a patient has rosacea symptoms that don't match the typical patterns of other defined rosacea types, or when multiple rosacea features are present together.
Additional Information
Rosacea is a manageable chronic condition that typically requires ongoing care to control symptoms and prevent flare-ups. Treatment approaches vary based on the specific type and severity of symptoms.
