ABSTRACT

El arte es belleza, razonamiento, ciencia y oficio. La medicina es un arte porque combina todas estas destrezas. Pero en la práctica de la medicina se requiere experiencia y esta se obtiene sólo por la práctica. La dermatología es un arte; se aprende viendo. Ver es el acto de percibir con los ojos el color y la forma de las cosas. El dermatólogo utiliza el arte para aprender; usa la observación, el conocimiento y el razonamiento para observar obras de arte. A través de la este acto ve figuras, colores y, finalmente, establece patrones. Después de repetir este acto se forma la experiencia, y es cuando el dermatólogo aprende el verdadero arte de la dermatología: el arte de mirar.


Art is beauty, reasoning, science and profession. Medicine is an art because it combines all these skills. But in the practice of medicine, experience is required and it can only be obtained through practice. Dermatology is also an art; it is learned through looking. To look is the act of perceiving the color and form of things through the eyes. The dermatologist utilizes art to learn, he uses observation, knowledge, reasoning to observe artwork. And through these acts he starts to observe figures, colors, and finally forms a pattern. After repeating this act, he establishes experience, and that is when the dermatologist learns the true art of dermatology, the art of seeing.

ABSTRACT

La papilomatosis reticulada y confluente de Gougerot-Carteaud es una dermatosis poco frecuente que por lo general afecta a individuos jóvenes, especialmente a mujeres de fototipos oscuros. Es asintomática y se presenta como placas pigmentadas con textura papilomatosa que confluyen formando placas reticuladas de mayor tamaño en el cuello y zonas intertriginosas. La causa es desconocida, aunque se ha implicado una queratinización anormal, y en ocasiones se puede asociar a Malassezia sp. Su evolución es crónica con remisiones y exacerbaciones. Por el momento no se dispone de un tratamiento específico. Se presenta un caso tratado de manera efectiva con minociclina que no presentó recidiva tras seis meses de seguimiento.


Confluent and reticulated Gougerot-Carteaud papillomatosis is an uncommon dermatological condition that affects adolescents, especially young women with dark skin types. It presents itself as asymptomatic pigmented patches with a papillomatous texture that coalesce to form reticular plaques localized in the neck and intertriginous areas. The cause of this disease is unknown, although an abnormal keratinization has been implicated and sometimes has been associated with Malassezia sp. It has a chronic course with remissions and exacerbations. Several therapies have been used unsuccessfully to eradicate it but nowadays there is no specific treatment. We report a case treated efficiently with minocycline without recurrence at 6 months follow-up.
