Confluent and Reticulated Papillomatosis of Gougerot-Carteaud on Black Skin: Two Observations

Abstract EN

Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis of Goujerot-Carteaud is a rare and benign skin disease characterized by flat papules taking a reticulated appearance.

It is a skin disease of unknown etiology and nosology that is always discussed.

This disease preferentially involves the chest and interscapular regions.

It is a condition probably underdiagnosed in black skin because it generally simulates a pigmented tinea versicolor.

This pathology withstands antifungal treatment but has a particular sensitivity to cyclines thus constituting a distinguishing criterion, useful for diagnosis which should be evoked in front of these reticulated confluent papules.
