L50-L54: Urticaria and erythema

L53: Other erythematous conditions

The term "Other erythematous conditions", as classified under the ICD-10 code of L53, encompasses a group of disorders that cause redness or inflammation of the skin. Typically, this redness is a result of increased blood flow to the surface tissues of the skin and can occur anywhere on the body. Transmission is not applicable as these conditions are not contagious; they usually result from a variety of factors like allergic reactions, sun exposure, or underlying conditions such as rosacea or lupus. Common symptoms include visible redness or rash on the skin, often accompanied by other symptoms like itching, heat, or swelling, depending on the particular condition. Disease progression varies with the individual condition, but inflammation often increases without appropriate treatment or in response to certain triggers. These conditions generally affect the integumentary system, primarily the skin, and can significantly impact quality of life due to their visibility.
