L75.2 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of apocrine miliaria. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code L752 is used to code Fox-Fordyce disease

Fox–Fordyce disease, or apocrine miliaria, is a chronic blockage of the sweat gland ducts with a secondary, non-bacterial inflammatory response to the secretions and cellular debris in the cysts. Hidradenitis is very similar, but tends to have a secondary bacterial infection so that pus-draining sinuses are formed. It is a very devastating skin disease that does not have universally curative treatments. Many that have this disease avoid sweat-inducing activities and prefer swimming as their mode of exercise.
