Summary:Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis is most probably a disorder of keratinization rather than a fungal infection. We describe an 18-year-old man who was effectively treated with high-dose oral isotretinoin. Our review of the literature on confluent and reticulated papillomatosis refutes previously accepted epidemiologic data. (J Am Acad Dermatol 1994:31:327-31.)
