Patient EducationClinical

Sweat

Sweat is a clear, salty liquid produced by glands in your skin. Sweating is how your body cools itself. You sweat mainly under your arms and on your feet and palms. When sweat mixes with bacteria on your skin, it can cause a smell. Bathing regularly and using antiperspirants or deodorants can help control the odor.

Questions About L75Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for apocrine sweat disorders?

L75 is the ICD-10-CM category for apocrine sweat disorders, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is L75 (Apocrine sweat disorders) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for apocrine sweat disorders, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for apocrine sweat disorders need a more specific code from this category, such as L75.0, L75.1, and L75.2.

Can L75 be reported with L30.1?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on L75 lists "dyshidrosis (L30.1)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
