About the L60–L75 Code Range
Nail changes, hair loss and growth, acne, rosacea, skin cysts, and sweat disorders appear here. The categories move from nails and hair to follicular and sweat disorders.
L60 separates specific nail disorders, while L62 identifies nail disorders in diseases classified elsewhere. Alopecia means hair loss. L63 covers alopecia areata, which involves patchy loss of scalp and body hair. L64 covers androgenic alopecia; L65 and L66 distinguish nonscarring from scarring hair loss. L67 concerns hair color and shaft abnormalities, while L68 concerns excessive hair growth.
L70 separates types of acne, and L71 covers rosacea. L72 identifies follicular cysts by type; L73 groups other follicular disorders. Sweat disorders separate into eccrine conditions under L74 and apocrine conditions under L75.

A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists, there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation.
The “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.
