Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/555831327

Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CARP) is an uncommon disorder of epidermal keratinization characterised by the development of hyperkeratotic papules which coalesce into confluent and, in places, reticulated plaques on truncal skin. An abnormal reaction to commensal microorganisms has been postulated to play an aetiological role.
