A case of confluent and reticulate papillomatosis (Gougerot-Carteaud) with an unusual location.
A 15-year-old female with a brown hyperkeratotic plaque in the pubic region confirming with the diagnosis of confluent and reticulate papillomatosis (CRP) is presented. The lesion disappeared rapidly after 3 weeks of treatment with 50% propylene glycol in water. The etiological role of Pityrosporum orbiculare in CRP is discussed.
