[Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis Gougerot-Carteaud successfully treated with minocycline].
Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis is a rare dermatosis of unknown etiology mostly affecting young males and females most common in adolescence. The eruption consists of confluent, flat, brown papules forming a pigmented reticulated pattern. It occurs primarily in the intermammary and epigastric regions but may spread to the axillae. A 27-year-old patient with typical clinical and histologic features of confluent and reticulated papillomatosis responded well to oral minocycline.
