Confluent and reticulate papillomatosis of Gougerot and Carteaud clearing with minocycline.
Confluent and reticulate papillomatosis is a rare disorder producing sharply circumscribed hyperpigmented ichthyosiform scaling lesions in a seborrhoeic distribution. Its exact aetiology is unknown and its response to therapy is poor. This case is unusual in responding to minocycline having failed with the more conventional approaches.
