Abstract

We present an extensive and severe case of confluent and reticulated papillomatosis of Gougerot & Carteaud in a previously healthy adolescent male treated with oral Minocycline, 100 mg per day, for 30 days, with complete remission of the lesions and a sustained response after a 6-month follow-up. Recent literature on the subject is revised.
