phaidra.vetmeduni.ac.at o:4774 DOI 10.1111/eve.14217 Nonefficient treatment for a mostly cosmetic problem? Aural plaques are a common condition but rarely need treatment. Diagnosis is usually straightforward by clinical examination. Differential diagnosis distinguishing aural plaques from sarcoid, if needed, is best achieved by PCR from surface samples or swabs. There is little evidence of any effect of autohaemotherapy. In contrast, Imiquimod is highly successful in the treatment of aural plaques. Purely cosmetic therapy of aural plaques is questionable.
