A woman with one red ear
- Fumitaka Yoshimura
Abstract
When redness of the auricle is present, the main differential diagnoses
are erysipelas, Ramsay-Hunt syndrome, relapsing polychondritis, and
chilblain lupus. The pathogenesis of red ears can be inferred by careful
anatomical observation. Making the correct diagnosis is important
because the treatment and prognosis vary according to the cause.
