L66.4: Folliculitis ulerythematosa reticulata

The skin on your face has changed.

Small, lacy or striped dents are visible on the skin of both your cheeks. This is a long-term, but usually harmless condition. The cause is unknown.

Other skin changes, such as calluses, can often be found in other parts of the body. These callused areas are on the surface of the skin. As a result, the skin often feels rough. The extensor sides of the arms or legs, for example the elbows or knees, are often affected.

Additional indicator

On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides
