These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical findings related to hair pigmentation changes and hair shaft defects, capturing disease severity, extent, and any associated scalp involvement where relevant. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM L67 group supports proper claim adjudication and complete clinical documentation for appropriate reimbursement.

    Typical Clinical Scenarios

    • A middle-aged woman presents to dermatology with progressive diffuse hair thinning over several years, noticing miniaturized hair and widening of the central part of the scalp without signs of scalp inflammation; she requests evaluation for chronic non-scarring hair shaft change suspected to be due to intrinsic hair shaft abnormality. A diagnosis from this group is assigned to describe a chronic hair shaft disorder presenting as altered hair color/structure contributing to diffuse thinning. Typical codes: L67.1
    • A pediatric patient is brought to urgent care after parents notice sudden development of hair with irregular, brittle, and flagellated shafts following exposure to a household chemical; the child has patchy broken hairs and parental concern for acute acquired hair shaft damage. The clinician documents an acute hair shaft abnormality related to external injury or exposure and assigns a code from this group to capture the acquired shaft defect. Typical codes: L67.8
    • An adult patient with longstanding graying and premature whitening of scalp hair seeks evaluation during a routine primary care visit concerned about early-onset hair color change and its psychosocial impact; there is no associated scalp disease or systemic disorder identified. The provider records a diagnosis to classify a benign hair color abnormality as part of the patient’s medical history and for monitoring during follow-up. Typical codes: L67.0, L67.9
