  • L30.1 Dyshidrosis [pompholyx]
  • L30.2 Cutaneous autosensitization
  • L30.3 Infective dermatitis
  • L30.4 Erythema intertrigo
  • L30.5 Pityriasis alba
  • L30.8 Other specified dermatitis
  • L30.9 Dermatitis, unspecified

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
