Abstract

Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CRP) was first described in 1927 by Gougerot and further characterised by Carteud.1 It is relatively rare, and the exact pathophysiology was not well known. Over the years, multiple treatment modalities were proposed. We report our experience with three cases of CRP which showed complete clearance with tetracycline group of antibiotics.
