Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis responsive to Doxycycline: Report of two cases
Abstract :
Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis is a very rare disease with an unknown cause, which frequently affects young women. It is characterized by erythematous hyperpigmented mild squam macule. It occurs typically over intermammarial region and upper body side. Lesions can spread to whole trunk overtime. Severe itching may occur. Minocycline, fucidic acid, claritromycin, erytromycin, azitromycin have been reported to be effective. Here in, we report two cases with confluent and reticulated papillomatosis, who were misdiagnosed as tinea versicolor and had a long time of antifungal therapy. The patients successfully responded to doxycycline treatment.
