A papilomatose confluente e reticulada de Gougerot e Carteaud é dermatose rara, de etiologia obscura. Há diversas opções terapêuticas - retinóides tópicos e sistêmicos, antibióticos orais, entre outros - a maioria com resultados discretos. Os autores descrevem três casos da doença, em adultos, dois do sexo feminino e um do sexo masculino, com lesões características - pápulas que se tornavam confluentes no centro e reticuladas na periferia, formando placas de limites imprecisos, ligeiramente descamativas - e discutem aspectos etiológicos e terapêuticos da doença.
