Other acantholytic disorders (L11)

The ICD-10 code section L11 covers various other acantholytic disorders, which are skin conditions characterized by the loss of connections between skin cells. These codes specify different forms of acantholytic dermatoses that vary in presentation and cause.

This group includes L11.0 for acquired keratosis follicularis (also known as keratosis circumscripta), a condition affecting hair follicles. Code L11.1 identifies transient acantholytic dermatosis or Grover disease, a temporary but itchy skin disorder. The L11.8 category captures other specified types such as hereditary or persistent forms, including acantholytic epidermal nevus and benign acantholytic dermatosis of the vulva. For cases where the condition is unspecified, L11.9 is used, covering acantholytic dermatoses without a precise type, sometimes called familial acantholysis. Understanding these distinctions helps coders precisely assign the correct ICD-10 code for acantholytic skin disorders. The ICD-10 code for other acantholytic disorders ensures accurate classification of these varied inflammatory skin conditions.
