[Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis. Gougerot-Carteaud disease].

Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis is an uncommon dermatosis of unknown etiology which is often difficult to diagnose. Lesions appear on the mid-trunk and affect mostly young females. We report a 15-year-old girl with typical clinical and histologic features of this rare disorder in whom the lesions rapidly improved after minocycline therapy. Topical treatment with isotretinoin and erythromycin was ineffective.
