On May 13th my 10 year old red Abyssinian was diagnosed with "Eosinophilic Plaque".I had been petting her and noticed a circular, very symmetrical patch of fur missing on her chest. It looked as if she had been shaved. The skin was just pink, neither raw nor weeping. Her treatment was Amoxicillin and Prednisolone (5mg twice a day). I was able to back off of the Prednisolone after I saw some improvement. That was about 3 or 4 days. My vet said that this is fairly common in older cats and that it is not curable but treatable. I am to look out for more outbreaks and just treat with the Prednisolone. It didn't take long for her to rally and now her fur is growing back. So far so good. I don't know what the difference is between the 'plaque' and the 'granuloma' but I hope that this has helped.
