Fulltext PDFConfluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CARP) of Gougerot and Carteaud is a rare chronic dermatosis characterized by relapsing and remitting episodes, predominantly affecting young individuals. We report two cases of CARP in young Moroccan female patients. The etiology of CARP remains unclear, with a potentially multifactorial pathogenesis, as it occurs in both healthy individuals and patients with obesity, insulin resistance, and/or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Various therapeutic options have been successfully employed for CARP management; however, minocycline or azithromycin are generally considered first-line treatments.
