Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis of Gougerot and Carteaud (also known as "Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis," "Familial cutaneous papillomatosis," and "Familial occurrence of confluent and reticulated papillomatosis"[1]:207[2]) is an uncommon but distinctive acquired ichthyosiform dermatosis characterized by persistent dark, scaly, papules and plaques that tend to be localized predominantly on the central trunk.[3]:494-495
Eponym
Henri Gougerot and Alexandre Carteaud originally described the condition in 1927.[4] The cause remains unknown, but the observation that the condition may clear with Minocycline [5] turned attention to an infectious agent. Actinomycete Dietzia strain X was isolated from one individual [6]. Other antibiotics found useful include azithromycin, fusidic acid, clarithromycin, erythromycin, tetracycline and cefdinir [7].
