ICD-10-CM L29: Pruritus Overview
The ICD-10-CM L29 group covers pruritus diagnoses, representing conditions characterized primarily by itching of the skin. These codes target dermatologic symptoms rather than a specific primary disease and may reflect localized or generalized itching across integumentary sites.
