| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

L23.7 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis due to plants, except food. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code L237 is used to code Urushiol-induced contact dermatitis

Urushiol-induced contact dermatitis (also called Toxicodendron dermatitis and Rhus dermatitis) is the medical name given to allergic rashes produced by the oil urushiol, which is contained in various plants, including the plants of the genus Toxicodendron (including poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac), other plants in the sumac Anacardiaceae family[not verified in body] (mango, pistachio, Rengas tree, Burmese lacquer tree, India marking nut tree, and the shell of the cashew nut),[not verified in body] and unrelated plants such as Ginkgo biloba. As is the case with all contact dermatitis, urushiol-induced rashes are a type-IV hypersensitivity reaction, also known as delayed-type hypersensitivity.
