“…Carteaud 29 proposed that antibiotics might help, and the response to minocycline has been documented by many since then. [30][31][32][33][34] In 1996, Montemarano et al 35 reported that nine of 11 patients had a response to minocycline. The reason why minocycline works is unclear: it is both an anti-inflammatory agent and an antibacterial agent, and we do not know which of these properties is important.…”

CRP occurs predominantly in young adults and teenagers, with cosmetically displeasing brown scaling patches and plaques affecting the neck, upper trunk and axillae. Frequently, the diagnosis is delayed and the disorder not recognized by physicians, including dermatologists. Clinically, the eruption is most often confused with tinea versicolor. Potassium hydroxide staining of the scale is negative in the majority of cases, implying that fungi are not involved in the pathogenesis of this condition, as has been previously proposed. It is important to recognize this disorder, because minocycline therapy is highly effective in most patients. Criteria for the diagnosis are proposed.

“…Minocycline is one of the most effective agents in the treatment of the disease [5,9,10]. However, oral antibiotics such as azithromycin, erythromycin and retinoic acid derivatives have been used to treat the disease at varying success rates [6,11,12].…”

Confluent reticulated papillomatosis(CRP) is a disease which is characterized with peripheral, reticular hyperpigmented patches and hyperkeratotic papules, first defined in 1927. The disease, also known as Gougerot Carteaud syndrome, mostly affects young women in 2nd and 3rd decade of life. Interscapular, epigastric and intermammary areas are involved in most of the cases. Although etiopathogenesis of the disease is still unclear, antibiotics such as minocycline, doxycycline, azithromycin and retinoic acid derivatives are being used in the treatment. Clearance of the lesion in CRP may take a long time. Herein, we present our case in order to emphasize rapid response to the combination therapy of systemic doxycycline and topical tretinoin.

“…'Cyclines' (particularly minocycline) and macrolides have been the most frequently utilized. 12,15,17,20,[22][23][24] Whether the effectiveness of the antibiotics is determined by their anti-in ammatory and/or immunosuppresive properties or by their antibiotic action is debated. 12,17,20 Oral retinoids are also very effective, achieving a fast and complete response, with lasting remissions, but their use is restricted by their adverse side effects.…”

Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (Gougerot-Carteaud) successfully treated with tacalcitol

Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CRP) is a rare dermatosis of unknown aetiology whose relationship to Malassezia furfur is still debated. Antifungal agents, antibiotics, retinoids, and, more recently, calcipotriol have been successfully used as treatment. The authors report on a 14-year-old female with confluent and reticulated papillomatosis in whom M. furfur was found. Anti-fungal therapy eliminated the fungus, but did not achieve the disappearance of the lesions. Further treatment with tacalcitol was successful, supporting the theory that CRP might be a disorder of keratinization. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first patient treated with tacalcitol for this entity.
