Apocrine sweat disorder, unspecified

This code signifies an uncharacterized condition affecting the apocrine sweat glands. It indicates a dysfunction or abnormality of these glands, which are primarily located in the axillae, anogenital region, and around the nipples, without further specification of the exact nature of the disorder.

Use this code when documentation indicates an apocrine sweat gland disorder but lacks specific details regarding its type (e.g., chromhidrosis, apocrine bromhidrosis, Fox-Fordyce disease) or underlying cause. This code is appropriate when the provider has diagnosed an apocrine sweat gland issue but has not yet identified a more precise diagnosis.

• Avoid using this code if a more specific diagnosis for an apocrine sweat gland disorder is documented (e.g., L75.0 for Bromhidrosis).
• Query the provider for more specific documentation if possible to allow for a more precise code assignment.
• This code should be used as a last resort when no other specific apocrine sweat gland disorder can be identified from the medical record.
