Abstract

Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CRP) of Gougerot and Carteaud is most likely a disorder of keratinization, although Dietzia and Pityrosporum organisms have been implicated. CRP causes hyperkeratotic and hyperpigmented papules which coalesce on the upper back and epigastric areas. This skin condition is often confused with tinea versicolor and acanthosis nigricans. Many reports found the condition to be more common in darker-skinned persons. Although there are many reported treatments for this benign skin condition, oral minocycline has been the most successful.
