Dermoscopic patterns in confluent and reticulated papillomatosis: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
CRP was first described in 1927 by Gougerot and Carteaud and it occurs predominantly in young adults and teenagers, affecting the neck, upper trunk and axillae with cosmetically displeasing appearance. Recognition of CRP is usually difficult by clinicians, including dermatologist as it frequently appears as pityriasis versicolor or acanthosis nigricans resulting in delay in the diagnosis [2]. Hence a diagnostic tool which could help to diagnose this condition is required to overcome this hurdle.
