Abstrakt: Confluent and reticulate papillomatosis (CRP) is an idiopathic disorder characterized by persistent patches and plaques that are centrally confluent and peripherally reticulate. Although CRP primarily occurs sporadically, there may be a familial predisposition to the development of CRP. Minocycline has been reported as effective in the treatment of CRP, seemingly due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. We describe a case of familial CRP involving 2 brothers who were successfully treated with minocycline.
